Summer in Japan - cicada singing 'semi no ne'

How do you listen to this; do you think it's noisy or appreciate the sound of the summer?

For Japanese, this remind us of the summer. It's a typical sound representing the hot and humid summer. You would greet a passer-by saying 'Honto ni atsui desu ne (It's really hot, isn't it?).' It's not a complaint but showing appreciation of the season.

Sorry for the shaky video. I was on my bicycle riding with one hand and another holding a handy cam. The shot was taken in Kamakura. Kamakura is an old capital of Japan (the late 12th century); it's a beautiful city surrounded by the mountains and the sea with lots of temples and shrines. It's my favourite place in Japan.
