Crickets chorus in the wet

Today I rode my Savage for the first time in damp conditions. When moving it sounded like a chorus of crickets was somewhere on the bike. When it dried up later in the day the sound was gone, but it was back when it got damp in the evening? Anyone know what this was from?

What was that singers name? Something and the Crickets.
Maybe just his ghost?

I believe the general consensus is that happens when the drive belt is too tight and gets a little wet, although the Suzuki provided tool probably says the tension is just right. Try the 90 degree method for adjusting the belt tension to silence the crickets.

It was Buddy Holley and the Crickets.
Real answer is your belt probably was getting wet. You know how wet tennis shoes squeak across the floor? Same principle.

Thank you....for both answers! (It was really bugging me what the singers name was
And the other answer makes perfect sense!
