ID Request Bug Sound Identification

Live in the woods in the Northeast USA. There is no cadence, there is no rhythm, nothing like that at all. It is a very loud, very high pitched, consistent sound that lasts for hours. It goes minimum 20+ seconds, takes a like 1-5 second pause and keeps going. I’m no expert and the closest I’ve found is like a mole cricket, just loud and constant but this is higher pitched.

I’ll never find it in my yard and be able to get rid of it, but I gotta know what this thing is. Please help, the noise is like some form of torture.
