I'm at a bit of a loss to understand why this is such a big deal since it is not really a problem. Having heard a number of others crickets, my car seemed no different.
In fairness the guys where it gets really hot and they have crappy fuel can get them way worse than you or I may experience. There are sound clips on here where they are positively deafening. I can't blame them for wanting to get rid of them. Speaking for myself the rare occasions I have had them at all I could only hear them if out of the car or in a drive through.
I had them really bad once and sat in my car in the laneway, with the window open trying to think of what I did different. Couldn't recall anything and shut the car off. Yes, they continued. They were actual crickets.
