The silent atmosphere of the sound of crickets and the choral virtuosity of the sound of goats

The repetitive, low-pitched, high-pitched and concise song of crickets radiates calm.
On closer listening, a liveliness and variety of sound becomes perceptible.
Goats start bleating at different pitches. When one goat starts bleating, others join in. It's as if they're singing in chorus.
