I wonder if it has to do with the recent start of fracking in Illinois.
I live just north of Harkers Island, and occasionally hear the distant rumbling. I usually credit it to Naval Gunfire, as the Navy has a range at Camp Jejune. Still it is noticeable and distinct, not thunder. Definitely not aircraft, those we see daily approaching MCAS, Cherry Point, and leaving. A c-130 on the glide slope is not that loud, and AV-8's are ear busters at the main gate.

I honestly had not considered that, but it is a very real possibility.
I'll have to check and see if there's any fracking going on in Carpentersville, but, most of the information I can find on the new policies (like the Huffington Post here) seem to suggest Southern Illinois as the most obvious candidate.
Carpentersville is North of Chicago, so, unless I have my bearings way off, I don't think they count as Southern Illinois.
Still, a good lead, and one which I plan to look into more.
