Composer Jim Wilson’s recording of the sound of crickets slowed down to reveal what sounds like an angelic choir.

Although it’s not quite as mind-blowing as purported (not every sound you hear is made by the crickets themselves) it’s still pretty impressive and for the most part, absolutely genuine..
