Are these what we call Jar Flies that drive us nuts in late summer every year or are they a different noisy insect?

Probably. The seasons they emerge, one can barely talk over the raucous outside.

I hear tree frogs in the summer and see lightning bugs.

Different. Those are annual summer cicadas that come out in August here in Indiana. The 17- & 13-year guys come out in the millions and are deafening for about 2-3 weeks. They damage a lot of trees, though most mature ones survive. Been through 5 17-year blasts the worst being 2004 where we live. We were ground zero.
