...Guys?

...

I.  I think there's a cicada in the house.

...

How do I get it out?  For that matter, how do I find it?

EDIT:  Okay, possibly NOT a cicada, unless cicadas chirp in identical patterns, once every minute.  (Yes, one minute exactly -- I timed it.  Unless this is one very OCD cicada.) 

OKAY, NEW QUESTION:  WHAT'S THAT NOISE?

EDIT #2:  IT'S COMING FROM THE CENTER SPEAKER IN FRONT OF THE TV.  WTF.

Okay, so remember my phantom cicadas?  That seemed to be coming from our sound system speakers?

Yeah.  Those cicadas.

AS IT TURNS OUT, THEY WERE CICADAS.  See, because Tora-kun is Mr. Tech Geek Extraordinaire, our whole entertainment system runs through a computer.  So, like, we download TV shows from iTunes, and watch them... on TV. 

Tora-kun installed Weatherbug on the computer.  Weatherbug has a feature that will notify you of "extreme weather" with an alarm.  Tora-kun has this feature enabled.  AND GUESS WHAT THE ALARM SOUNDS LIKE?

IF YOU GUESSED "CICADAS," GIVE YOURSELF A COOKIE.

*facepalm*

This reminds me of the time, years ago, that he set his mail notification sound to "Mail, motherfucker!" (if you've seen "Euro Trip," then you know the line). 

His mail checked every five minutes.

He got mail every five minutes.

EVERY FIVE MINUTES, I HEARD, WITHOUT FAIL:  "MAIL, MOTHERFUCKER!"

And he wondered why his computer speakers were always turned off by the time he got home.
