Scientists from France and Scotland recorded the aquatic animal "singing" at up to 99.2 decibels, the equivalent of listening to a loud orchestra play while sitting in the front row.The insect makes the sound by rubbing its penis against its abdomen in a process known as "stridulation".Researchers say the song is a courtship display performed to attract a mate.
