As someone who grew up in the Midwest and has been around cicadas my entire life, I can't help but wonder if it's not the decibel level that causes sleep interruption but the cadence, rhythm of the sound? Unlike the intermittent beep of a smoke detector with a dead battery, the sound of the cicada has more of a gradual pulse sound?

Thank you for this fascinating write up. The non-result is often just as interesting as the affirmative finding. Well done.
