Answer 4

The insects that come out every 13 years are cicadas.  They make a shrill sort of buzzing sound with their wings.  There's also a seven-year variety.  Every so often, the 13-year bugs emerge in the same year as the 7-year, and then you have big brown bugs EVERYWHERE, and things are NEVER quiet.

Katydids are more like large grasshoppers  They have a deeper, croaking sort of call that does sound like they're saying, "Katy did...she did she did...Katy did..."  I learned what they were when they made a mess out of my garden one year.
