What part of the body to crickets rub together to make noise?

Question

is it their feet or their legs?

Answer 1

Legs

Answer 2

To make noise, crickets rub their back legs against their wings. If I were to compare it to a human, it would be like rubbing your thigh against your back. I know that sounds silly, but think of the way crickets are made. Naturally, their back leg would rub their wings because they are positioned so close to each other. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

They create their strange sounds by rubbing their wings together. This process is called "stridulation." Like a miniature violinist, a cricket lifts his front wings, then drags the file-like ridge on the upper wing (the bow) across the sharp edge of the lower wing (the scraper). Membranes on the wing amplify the sound, just like when the bow is pulled across the strings of a violin!
Male field crickets (the kind most kids can find right in their backyards) have at least three songs: one that attracts females, one that woos the female after he gets her attention, and one that warns other males to back off. Crickets are also smart enough to disguise their "voices" when in danger. By lowering its "voice," a cricket can make itself sound far away. In some countries, people keep male crickets in cages so that they can enjoy their songs. Now, the next time you hear a cricket performing a heartfelt solo, or joining several friends in a joyful chorus, you'll know exactly how they do it
