The idea comes from Reinhard Gupfinger a Linz based artist I met during the Ars Electronica Festival 2011 in Linz.

The Urban Cricket consists of three simple oscillators, a piezo beeper with built in driver and a solar cell for powering the circuit. The piezo beeper has a built in driver which means that a voltage applied will cause the beeper to generate noise not only a short click. It generates a tone at about 2,000 to 3,000 Hertz witch sounds pretty annoying ("piiiiiiiiiiiii").<br>

The first oscillator makes the beeper beep at a variable frequency of about 20-100 Hertz. The beeper controlled by the first oscillator sounds short 2-3khz bursts.<br>

The third oscillator runs even slower than the second one causing the second one to stop at some times. Now the cricket sounds "brrr brrr brrr <pause> brrr brrr brrr <pause>" and so on.<br>

The the oscillator stages a coupled via diodes to make them influence the other only one way. All six not-gates a located on one ic-chip (74HC04 or 74HC14).<br>
