Either that or I'm hearing things

...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.

We get crickets in our walls sometimes. Or I'm going insane. Last year, there was this one in the wall by my room. All night long, that fricking thing would chirp. Drove me nuts for about a week before I pounded the wall in frustration... and the damn thing moved down two feet. So I pounded again. And it moved another two feet. Eventually got it out of my walls. Success! It came back off and on throughout the fall. Or different ones. Not like I care. But I'd pound, and they'd go away.

...late last week, I woke up to a cricket noise in another wall. *cries*

Unless it's not a cricket or an insect of some kind, and I'm just insane. That's also possible. O.o;

I used to get crickets in my old bedroom, when I was in high school. I... do not know how they got in, only that they did and I could never tell where the sound was coming from, and it would always stop once I turned on the light. Surefire way to set someone on the short road to Crazytown.
