What happens at the end of this Whatzit sound track is aggravating.
You can get control by clicking on the sound track again after the advertising stops.
Another way is to "X" out of the Sound Cloud site.

What it is, is mildly annoying, if you're referring to the sounds.

Sounds a bit like the noise my old four banger car made when the serpentine belt was loose and the power steering pump and/or alternator started chattering.

Is this supposed to be sounds picked up from the Andromeda galaxy?
I could not only hear them but could also feel them in my right ear.
Sounds were from my hp all in one computer.
Would probably hurt from a good sound system.

Giant mutant space crickets or cicadas on their way here for a meal.

It is a chorus of Chorus Frogs down at the pond.

The chorus frogs are among Kentucky's smallest amphibians; full-grown males are only 1 ½ inches long and the biggest females may approach 2 inches. Even in large choruses these frogs are surprisingly difficult to find, hiding in dense grass and leaf litter at the edge of the water with only the tip of the nose exposed. Breeding choruses can be heard day and night from January or February through mid-April.

I have yet to see one of these frogs but they started singing as soon as the ice melted on the pond down by the containers.

Lynnette told me the sound of Chorus Frogs was used in a science fiction movie for the sound of aliens talking. That gave me the idea to disguise the Frog Whatzit with an outer space name.

Correct. Did I repeat an old Whatzit that you got it immediately?

Maybe? Searched google for image. It took three stabs to get a match. Initial hit was an Hawaiian Hibiscus. I had to look for closeups to try to match the details. Anthers(?) were different. Second "guess" also had different details. Third try found a match and the tree was from Arizona, your old stomping grounds.
