From what I have heard, some other companies bury the pump deeper in the engine so that the noise is muffled a bit, but ill take crickets and relatively easy access over a huge repair bill if something goes wrong.

Also makes sense that pure petrol stops them from singing because they're sad, but E10 petrol only makes them rowdy and chirp more.

Solution

Pour about half a fifth of your favorite bargain market gin or vodka into the gas tank every fillup.

You'll thank me in a couple weeks when the crickets drink themselves to death

I find that this works and if you can get it to run around the belts in just the right manner you can get an extra 5WHP!
Mind you only good in warm weather.

I've decided its best to just embrace it and try to make it a social statement...

(Actually, I don't believe mine has shown symptoms, but then again, I don't care enough to try to hear them.)

I love that this tread has now been jacked into the direction it needs to take after 3 years!
We should start a pool though as to how long before somebody comes on and (seriously) says "my car makes a chirping noise is it the crickets thing?"

Crickets under the hood of my BRZ..maybe.. being a somewhat deaf veteran (mortar maggot) has finally paid off.
