Yep, small birds often have the loudest voice. They are often unseen,
as well. Chuck Will's Widows and Whipoorwhills. They are teeny tiny
birds, you have to be a real birder to spot one.

Next month, when things cool off, there will be an influx of birds that
are migrating south.

I had crickets occasionally get into my apartment in Cordova.
Completely silent until you turn off the light... chirrrp. Turn the
light on, good luck trying to find the damn thing. Unlike Gary, I
wasn't going to toss the bedroom furniture around just to try to find
it. I just went back to bed and hoped like hell it would shut up.
