Questions

Can I use these grasshopper sounds in a YouTube video or a paid project?

Yes. Every clip here is CC0, public domain or CC BY, and all of those allow use in monetised videos, podcasts, games, apps and client work, with no fee and no need to ask.

Do I need to give credit for these grasshopper sounds?

Only for five of the seven clips, the ones marked CC BY 4.0. Put the credit line in your description or end credits, for example "Admirable Grasshopper, Joseph Aubert, CC BY 4.0", "American Bird Grasshopper, Dakota Parish, CC BY 4.0" and "Crackling Forest Grasshopper, Thomas Koffel, CC BY 4.0". The other two need no credit.

Do all grasshoppers sound the same?

No. Each species has its own calls, which is why this page has six of them: Admirable Grasshopper, American Bird Grasshopper, Crackling Forest Grasshopper, Club-horned Grasshopper, Painted Meadow Grasshopper and Velvet-striped Grasshopper. If you are trying to name one you heard, start with the species found near you.
