Could be a crayfish frog (Rana areolata) in Illinois.  They are found in
southern Illinois and have a "snore-like" call. Crayfish frogs sound like
gopher frogs and can breed anytime if conditions are right (i.e., after
major rains usually).

 

Here's link to a gopher frog with call

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.
