it's ok! its really just them saying "Please don't touch me =("

but it really is a bit jarring the first time you hear it.

Something so small can exhale air loud enough for us to hear it. Absolutely wild!

its actually stridulation! they rub their legs together to make a hissing noise (if I recall correctly). like a cricket kinda. but its a long hiss rather than a chirp.

That's even crazier! Insect violins, these creatures are.
