We had Brood X here. They were loud enough that we could clearly hear them even when we drove on the highway at 75 MPH (120 KPH). Louder than the other cars and semi-truck around us.
I visited a friend in DC as this was waning, and every square foot of ground in the city was covered with dead or dying cicadas. Every tree trunk was covered with dozens of them trying to hang on. It was crazy.
