S-58T, probably with Midwest Helicopters from its orange and white scheme.  No photo; heard something odd, rushed to door, exclaimed in surprise (and promptly reassured wife it was just a surprise and not something dangerous.)  I see them in town every year or so to lift HVAC equipment, etc.

Not over my house, but US 206 this morning a cropduster, probably an Ag Cat, on a pre-dawn dusting patrol.  It pulled me out of my musings on the other drivers, and all I caught was a left banking belly silhouette framed between the trees

I see those guys around Chicago once in a while. They are fun to watch!

Four low wing monoplanes in a tight diamond formation.  I was cleaning my teeth and only saw them heading away.
Sounded like turbines so probly RAAF PC21s doing ANZAC day flypasts.
