Insects can make buzzing sounds by fluttering their wings, or sounds called Stridulation, made by rubbing body parts together (for example, grasshoppers rub their legs against their wings).
Often we can't hear the sounds many insects make, unless they are recorded and amplified.

Crickets and katydids produce sound by rubbing their wings together. At the base of the forewing, there is a thick, ridged vein that acts as a file. The upper surface of the forewing is hardened, like a scraper.
