It is also common for Auchenorrhyncha species to produce either audible sounds or substrate vibrations(英语:Seismic communication) as a form of communication. Such calls range from vibrations inaudible to humans, to the calls of many species of cicadas that can be heard for hundreds of metres, at least. In season, they produce the most characteristic and ubiquitous noise of the bush.
