So people in Hawaii afflicted by the frogs have gone from hating them to toleration? What's next, celebrating the frogs like people do in Puerto Rico?
I'm no frog supporter, but they are more soothing than cicadas, some crickets, freight trains, barking dogs, roosters, and screaming meth head neighbors. If I were to cast a vote for one obnoxious noise to remove from Puna, it would be those sounds created by humans, followed by roosters, then dogs, and then if all of those things are silenced I'd have to make the decision between crickets and coqui frogs. At this point, I'm thankful for the frogs drowning out the more irritating sounds, however I do take measures around the home to keep the coquis off in the distance. I have been unable to do that with the sounds coming from people and their dogs.
