I don't have a recording of it. I'm trying to find one, but it's been bugging me for years.
It starts around June here in NJ. It's three fast noises, a pause, and then a repeat. Like "eh eh eh <pause> eh eh eh". I'm sorry I can't describe it better. If I find an audio clip, I'll post it.

Cicadas?
I know the sound you're talking about, but never really thought about it.

I looked up cicadas but none of them matched.

Only every seven years?

If there's sometimes, in between the "eh eh eh <pause> eh eh eh" a different sound, then it could be a Gecko (if you have those in NJ, which I doubt)!

Sounds like tree frogs to me, but I don't recall having those in Jersey (of course I lived in the Pine Barrens, so what do I know?).

Unfortunately, by the time you hear the "eh eh eh <pause> eh eh eh," it's too late.
