I actually enjoy the chirping, only wild at the moment as they like to hang outside my window and my veiled only eats mediums. I'm looking forward to having adults, but I assume on a large scale it can get annoying.
Possibly move them? I had a friend who sound proofed a closet for his colony for his beardies (dragons not pygs)

I couldn't stand the sound. They were in another room, down the hall and I swear it still sounded so loud. They were in the garage before but the ants kept getting to them. I would purposely buy younger crickets that didn't chirp.

It only gets worse as they get older and you have to keep more crickets. I switched to dubia's and now I enjoy the silent nights, and not having the stench of the cricket bin.

It's easy just by 4 week old crickets ,they won't make noise ,thats what I do .get a flash light ,find him and take him out. next time if u only have large crix ,pull off their wings,but seriously only buy 4 week or medium crix.one time 11 crickets lost their lives before I killed that one ,..

Wonder if we can cross breed them with the flightless fruits flies and move the curly wings gene.

I can't sleep with crickets chirping. I have to get up and kill them or something.. -.-" If there is one that gets under my dresser or tv stand I hunt it down and end it's annoyance. FOREVER.
Dont buy adults "winged crickets" ever !!! or roaches for that matter
I hate when that one adult gets out and under the washing machine or somewhere impossible to get to.
This is why I have four cats!!!

I have one cat.. It doesn't do anything with them. My dogs do more to the crickets, on occasion if there are a bunch out in my room I let out my bearded dragon to take care of them all.

I couldn't stand them at all like my first week of having a 100...
Theres really nothing you can do. I stuck them in a sealed wardrobe which kept them really quite, but eventually I got to lazy to always take them out and put them back in.
So now i'm just used to the cricket chirps. I have about 60 adults and it doesn't bother me...Now, when you move to a scale of 500+...Good luck with that hahaha. I'd suggest the sound proof closet
Or keep them in a shed outside.
