If it's outside, perhaps it is a cicada?
I thought it might be an odd sort of cicada, or one making a different
sound, but I found a lot of cicada sound samples on the net and none
like this.
More data: This insect appears (or starts making its sound) in early
August and generally continues through September here in Pittsburgh. It
seems to only make its sound around dusk - from just after sunset until
around 9:30-10:00.
Like someone else said, it's most likely a click beetle.
