Trillions of "Brood X" cicadas emerge from the ground once every 17 years across the eastern US.
Little Pearl said the sound, which could be louder than a jet, would "ruin" people's dining experience.
A luxury wine bar in Washington, DC, is closing for a month in anticipation of a giant swarm of trillions cicadas across the east coast, but other restaurants in the area are adamant they'll stay open, according to a report by The Washington Post.
"We have decided to pause service at Little Pearl for 4 weeks starting May 10th in preparation for 'Cicada Season,'" Little Pearl, a wine bar in the Capitol Hill area, told a customer who tried to get a reservation at the restaurant, per The Post.
