I will have to listen more closely at home but it is reminiscent of an
American alligator's bellow.

I can't imagine how there would be several in that area. Certainly an
interesting sound.

I recorded this unusual sounds a couple of nights ago in an oak-hickory
forest here in Central Illinois. The recorder was left running unattended
for 2 nights.

I am thinking some type of locust or insect, probably too late for frogs.
