besides crickets, i hear this sound that is very irrating, like two marbles rubbing together? does anyone know what kind of bug it might be? i think its in my house. I'm kind of scared, should I be worried?

It's probably a katydid,a harmless memeber of the grasshopper family.Here is a link for you.Click on it,and then scroll to the bottom to hear a sample of a katydid's call.Even if one got in your house,it wouldn't hurt you.So,here's what they sound like:

Tammy C, that is a great answer. Sound clips, even!
There's one in my backyard, I hear it at night. Kind of annoying, but it lasts for less than a minute...
