I think "fig. mournful sound" is off the mark.
Used in 噤若寒蝉. (In that expression it doesn't mean 'mournful sound'.)

LA etc.

Meimuna opalifera:
https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%AF%92%E8%9F%AC_(%E6%98%86%E8%9F%B2)
(That sense is also in LA, GR etc)
Diff:
- 寒蟬 寒蝉 [han2 chan2] /cicada in winter/fig. mournful sound/
+ 寒蟬 寒蝉 [han2 chan2] /a cicada in cold weather (used as a metaphor for sb who keeps their thoughts to themself)/Meimuna opalifera, a kind of cicada found in East Asia/
