Neoconocephalus robustus, known generally as the robust conehead or crepitating conehead, is a species of conehead in the family Tettigoniidae. It is found in North America. The song of this insect has an incredible volume of 116 decibels.

From a distance, the song has a whining quality but at close range, it becomes painful to listen to.
