Answer 2

There are several possibilities.  To make a cricket noise, you need to do two things:

1)  Generate a high-pitched sound

2)  Rapidly modulate the volume of the sound

To accomplish the first task, you can either whistle or hum a high-pitched note (using your vocal cords).

To accomplish the second, you can use the airflow to vibrate either your tongue or your uvula (the thing that hangs down at the back of your mouth).

There are several ways to combine these, some of which may be easier than others, so I couldn't say how your friend does it.
