The amount of chirps per minutes that crickets and katydids make differs depending on the temperature outside. The warmer it is, the faster they chirp.

It’s not just animals. I used to work in the automotive industry, and the parts and assemblies we designed had to be tested for resonance. 2 Hz was the frequency we assumed for what a vehicle would experience driving on a typical road. Interesting. 🤔

I think 120 beats per minute is the default setting on most digital audio workstations.

100 - 120 beats per minute is also the recommended pace for CPR.

This was truly fascinating. It would be incredible if, one day, these frequencies can be linked to the regular underground electrical pulses of fungi communities.

We've been in a drought so the last couple years I hadn't heard the tree-frogs singing on summer nights. But they are back after their hiatus. Their trilling slowly pulses once the sun goes down. People assume it's the insects (who have their own sound) but it's just frogs.
