Purpose-Built Motorcycle Audio Is Finally Here!
Cicada Audio was born from a vision by Larry Frederick, the brand’s founding father and President. With over 40 years in the mobile‑audio industry, Larry helped create some of the most iconic aftermarket audio brands—Audiomobile, Proton, Coustic, Alpine USA, Elettromedia, Diamond Audio, Phoenix Gold, and Cerwin Vega Mobile. He’s designed thousands of products, earned five CES Design & Engineering Awards, holds multiple patents, and traveled to more than 28 countries—training installers and dealers worldwide . Frustrated by the limitations of repurposed car audio gear, they set out to create something better—a brand focused 100% on motorcycles, built from scratch with zero compromises. In 2020, he launched Cicada Audio, dedicated to crafting a pure motorcycle‑only line of speakers, amps, DSPs, and wiring harnesses engineered from the ground up.
We’re excited to welcome Cicada Audio to the Sweet Sounds lineup! Designed from the ground up exclusively for motorcycles—and especially Harley-Davidson models—Cicada is leading the way in high-performance audio gear that’s as rugged and refined as your bike.
This isn’t car audio retrofitted for motorcycles. This is motorcycle audio done right—built to overcome road noise, loud pipes, engine vibration, limited space, and harsh weather. If you ride a Harley and want serious sound, Cicada Audio is the new standard.
