It can be heard from maximum 30 meters, but the individuals can hardly be located. The echeme has 1.5-3 seconds and each echeme is composed from more than 50-60 hemisyllables. Gaps between echemes can be from 1 to 5 seconds long, depending on the temperature: as higher the temperature, as shorter the gap is.
