What was the 'cricket' noise for?
In Cell...
When the protagonists are on the outskirts of Boston they are chased by a group of phone zombies. The protagonists hide and the phone zombies do not find them, instead they all turn to face a lake and start making a type of eerie creaking 'cricket' chirp.
Why did they stop chasing the protagonists and start doing that?
Best Answer
Because these cell phone zombies can communicate with each other. The phoners have a sort of hivemind, grouping into flocks and helping each other scavenge for food.
They communicate by emitting an inhuman noise, a mixture of insectoid clicking and static. popzara

The louder and more intense the male crickets chirp, the more attractive that the females will find them (or that's what the male crickets think). There's a call for attracting females from far away, one for close-up females, and there's even an after-mating song. Crickets also chirp to intimidate other rival males.Why are crickets used for silence?
The term \u201ccrickets\u201d is often used when someone asks a question and gets no response. Crickets has come to mean absolute silence; no communication.
