Oh, the humanity!
It was fun for a few days, but now I’m about to go insane.
This is the second loudest I’ve ever heard them.

Niece lives less than five miles away and is overwhelmed by them. We have had very few. Weird.
Going nuts here. The byproducts are the eggs which moles just love. My yard looks like a WW1 battleground
It’s the same way here in Louisville. It’s loud where I live even with all the doors and windows closed. Walk outside and it’s overwhelming.
Yeah, I'm also in Louisville. Niece lives in Hurstbourne, we live in St. Matthews. Virtually nothing here. They're inundated. Strange.
At my son's baseball complex they are all over the place. A kid on his team went home crying last night they were so loud. Kind of a puss move if you ask me.
dude invest in a good pair of bose noise cancelling headphones. it helped me sleep through their jibber jabber at night time. i strongly thought about buying a bunch of frogs, but there were just. too. many.
One good thing about having tinnitus (constant ringing in the ears) is you learn to tune out sounds. So they don't bother me. Being married has the same effect as well.
I always loved the commercial where the football referee was getting slammed on the sideline by the coach and he was just standing there. The announcers talk about him getting chewed out by the coach and it not fazing him and they wonder how he is able to tune it out. Then it shows him sitting in a recliner with his wife up in his ear screaming at him and he is just watching TV and totally ignoring her.
Drove down to the lake yesterday afternoon and murdered over a hundred of them as they torpedoed into me. They are over the top loud here and at home. Cant believe some people dont have any.
Drove thru a car wash and was on my phone, i usually put on wipers maybe to help clean. You would think whether i did that or not they would come off. Nope. Decent job but not fully off windshield after a wash.
I have killed well over 100. Loud and obnoxious. They can do damage to young trees and shrubs as they insert their eggs in to branches and then when their nymphs reenter the earth, they attach to root systems to feed for the next 13-15 years. Not a fan!
I have heard the same, but what is the solution? There are a gazillion of them.
I can lend you a used Terrier to get rid of moles. About 13, very ill tempered, will bite those she doesn't like (which is most people), and barks at nearly everything that moves.
But . . . she hates moles and can dig to China if given a chance. I will provide one (1) week's supply of food, bowls, and her bed, and will deliver and pick up (My wife will insist).
Message me if interested.
They dont bother me or the dog all the much. Just a mild annoyance.
My wife and every other woman I've met recently, however, *hate* them.

Weird as hell. Nothing in St. Matthews. Dad lives in Harrods Creek. Nothing. Nieces live in Hurstbourne and Middletown. Chaos.
Yes, they're in Blue Ash (NE Hamilton Cty), & east in Clermont County, but not in rest of Hamilton(Cincy) nor NKy. We had them big back in '21. Different broads I suppose. Recall enjoying playing with them as a kid.
Side note, friend's daughter got married in the mist of them in Ft. Thomas in May, 2004 to a guy from MN. Well, a lot of his large family came down & freaked out over them because they don't have them in MN. Now the family's boys 5-12 had a great time with them.
Amazing how they stop as soon as the sun goes down.
I'm in Anchorage. Its been a pretty constant car alarm going off sound. Last Sunday it was an absolute cacophony of their, whatever it is they do.
