Brood XIX
They’re called Brood XIX and their invasion began about a week ago. Fortunately, they only seem to be active during the daytime.
It sounds like emergency vehicles have our neighborhood surrounded. We expect at least a couple more weeks of this constant racket before the cicada mating season is over.
I gotta have my orange juice. 
I told my children that this was the sound of an alien space-craft. I know because I grew up with Star Trek, Star Wars and ET.
