I've just sent up a stream from my shed window in Glenview, IL. (17yr_cicadas.ogg) The sound is of the 17 year Cicadas (Cigales), which are beginning to reach their full mating chants. There is a deeper rumble in the background (from miles of wooded areas) and the more local hiss from those nearby. The next brood like this won't occur in the Chicago area until 2024!
