In Argentina we use "cri cri" (that sounds like "kree kree"). It's suppose to be sound of crickets.

Japan has the tsukutsukuboshi, which is a cricket that sounds like that.

There’s definite animal naming from their sounds. For one species, we get: crow, corvo, karasu, Krähe, cacalotl, gaa, kkamagwi.

A stand out memory from my visit to Argentina was all the crazy bug sounds. One sounded exactly like the cartoon sound effect of an arrow being shot into a target.

Same here in Indonesia, we use “krik krik”.
