What you heard is possibly one of two species of Okanagana, either rimosa or
canadensis. They are described here:

The Okanaganas have long-continued harsh trills for calls. They don't start
out slow, get loud, and then trail off at the end like many cicadas.
Of course, you probably have several other species that sound off in your
area, possibly Tibicen canicularis, the species with a buzz-saw song that
does build up in volume and then trail off at the end.

I do still like that word.
Yesterday was the first day of our Cicada's here on the 45th parallel
in MN. Just a lone singer. But made me wonder about all those brood
X recordists out there. Can anyone give us an example of good mass
Xers? Was it as loud as it was suppose to be?
