The most common cricket songs are the calling song, which attracts the female the courtship, or mating, song, which induces the female to copulate and the fighting chirp, which repels other males. The frequency of the chirps depends on the number of teeth struck per second and varies from 1,500 cycles per second in the largest cricket species to nearly 10,000 cycles per second in the smallest. Male crickets produce musical chirping sounds by rubbing a scraper located on one forewing along a row of about 50 to 250 teeth on the opposite forewing. The two forewings are stiff and leathery, and the two long, membranous hind wings are used in flying. They have thin antennae, hind legs modified for jumping, three-jointed tarsal (foot) segments, and two slender abdominal sensory appendages (called cerci). Crickets vary in length from 3 to 50 mm (0.12 to 2 inches).

Based on the results of these study it can be said that the combined sound of owls and the sound of crickets can be used as an alternative for farmers to keep plants from mice disruption both in rice fields and on plantations.

The results showed the combination of owlsвЂ™ voices and cricket sounds cause mice more reactive than owls or cricket sounds, the higher sound frequency given, the greater effect on rat reactions, where as the best results are obtained from the combined sound of owls and cricket sounds at a frequency of 48000вЂ…Hz give a reaction to rats number one with a distance of movement as far as 26вЂ…cm with a time of 18.3 seconds and in rats number three reaching a distance of 21вЂ…cm with a time of 21.6 seconds.

In this study, each of three frequencies was used for the sound of owls, crickets and a combination of both 8000вЂ…Hz, 16000вЂ…Hz, and 48000вЂ…Hz, then three rats were given the same treatment beforehand. This study aimed to determine the effect of owl sound frequency, the sound of crickets and their combination of rat reactions.
