You can't make it stop unless you find it and remove it. Crickets really chirp a lot if it's going to be a dry spell. So hope you don't hear a cricket in your room when it's you aren't having rain because if you don't find it, it will never shut up. Usually, if you are very quiet you can track the sound of it under something and usually hard to reach. But keep listening and you'll eventually determine it's hiding place!!

If you wee oriental this would be a good thing.
the chirpping is both a mating call and a tempeture indicator. so there are only two ways to stop it quickly . one is to make a roach type trap that will let you rellease the insect back outside. or spray your rom with insectaside to kill it. or wait for it to run its lifecycle and die of natural causes.

You never hear crickets in the daylight.. maybe turn on the lights the whole night?!
Good luck!

Jump up and down all over the place. If your lucky, it will feel the vibrations and stop. For a while.

Put a pillow over your head and count some sheep.

I've only managed to make them quiet through scaring them.
