every goddamn summer season, without fail, some sort of bug or bird in my back yard will every night from dusk till dawn, squawk. At first I thought it was a cicada, but I figured cicadas don't live long enough to do it every damn night for 4 months. I can only describe the noise as the sound of sandpaper being rubbed onto wood. it'll make the noise usually twice and then pause, and then repeat. I wish I could get a recording, but unfortunately my phone and computer mics aren't sensitive enough. I live in the midwest if that helps. can anyone help me identify what keeps making this noise?

Similar to me. I'm in NE Ohio. LeBron country.
Is it a constant sound or is there a rhythm to it?

Oh god, what is reading comprehension. It makes it twice and then stops.
I think it's a katydid. I think my mum knows; I'll ask her.
