Insect?

This question is for you Bill

Or anyone who wants to take a guess.

Post your guesses and I will give the answer in a bit. I read this question on my Pringles chip. For some reason they have trivia on the chips now, lol.

The African cicada, Brevisana brevis (Homoptera: Cicadidae) produces a calling song with a mean sound pressure level of 106.7 decibels at a distance of 50 cm. Two species of North American cicadas, Tibicen walkeri Metcalf and T. resh (Haldman), produce an alarm call with a mean sound pressure level of 105.9 dB(50 cm). Brevisana brevis is likely the loudest insect species on record. Cicada songs are species-specific and play a vital role in communication, reproduction, and possibly defense.

yea, I can see that SPL is like a drag racer, just one style, straightline bump

SQ on the other hand is like GTP racing, every install is a different prototype, but all sound good in their own design.

You got it Bill!! I should have posted something saying no Googling, but I don't think anyone would have gotten it right. I know I wouldn't have.

Isn't it weird that Pringles has trivia questions on their chips? It did make for a fun fishing trip last weekend though.
