The sound is only made by the male cicada through a pair of drumlike organs called tymbals, and its sole purpose is to attract females to mate with.
This isn't surprising. Chicks always go for musicians.

Hey Baby. Wanna Mate?
Okay, I'm content. Even though I'm yet to actually see one, the cicadas are definitely out. Today is the first day that you can actually hear the little guys. And if you've never experienced a cicada emergence, the sound is best described as the sound a flying saucer makes in a bad 1950's sci-fi movie. It's not exactly a buzz, nor is it quite a hum. And if they're in your neighborhood, there's no escaping the din.
