I dont hear them at idle, but only in 2nd e 3rd gear under 3k rpm..
This occurs specially when slowing down when still on gear but not pressing the gas pedal
while the car, and the engine, slow down, crickets appear
and also when i'm in 2nd gear, low rpm (say 1900-2000) and i accelerate.. lots of crickets.

Should i be worried?
No even if they are they are not hurting anything. Doubt it is crickets though.

This is more likely.

I have to wonder if some that think they have crickets are hearing something else. Historically the crickets went away immediately when the car was in gear or moving.
