Sounds: Bug Music
Patrick lived for several years in California, and one of the things he missed most there was the nighttime bug music that is often taken for granted in many parts of the country. Below, you'll find links to mp3 files that capture a bit of what he missed.
The files on this page are approximately 2 MB in size and 2 minutes in length. If that's not enough, you can find much longer versions of the same bug music here.
