There are 13- and 17-year broods. It turns out that in different areas of the US, the emergence year differs. There are also so-called "annual cicadas," which emerge at much shorter intervals--2-6 years, with individuals emerging each year.
Here's a link (the first below) to a University of Michigan site that has a pretty comprehensive listing and maps of the various broods and emergence years of both 13- and 17-year cicadas.
Brood XIII of 17-year cicadas are set to emerge in 2007 in the states of IA, IL, IN, MI, WI.
Brood XIV of 17-year cicadas will emerge in 2008 in many eastern states. Then there is a "break" until 2011.

Don't be a pussy. The cicadas won't go anywhere near you, don't worry. And anyway, cicadas usually come out during the evening. You'll live.

In 2021 on the East Coast and the cycle is every 17 years.
The asked said 16 years; so, I assumed that the asker was referring to the US rather than anywhere else.

Orthodox-Ted is right...unless you live in Japan! We have cicadas every year (in the summer)! But they're not nearly as bad as in the States. They stay in trees for the most part, so you wouldn't even know they're there if it weren't for the deafening sound. Haha.

Well, it may depend on where you live, but I just experienced it a couple of years ago - be glad if you missed it.
