Actually some of those don't fit the criteria of a 'single note' (which I missed on first read), but still you should look at frog calls as the possible culprit as well. :)

Seeing it was on the tail-end of a big-rain, I'd check amphibian calls as well.  Green tree-frog, bird-voiced tree frog, Cope's gray tree frog, Fowler's toad, etc. all come to mind as possibilities.

I've found a number of interesting sounds made by common species that I hadn't heard previously. Of course, the source is more than likely something expected.   James --

I stepped out the back door long before dawn this morning to see how much it rained (2.7 inches). While outside, I heard a call note that didn’t match any nocturnal birds I’m familiar with. It was a singular, falsetto toned sound, repeated every 10 seconds or so. Once upon a time, I had a set of 33 rpm records titled ‘A Field Guide to Bird Songs’.  Being a few decades beyond possessing a functioning turntable, I don’t think I’m going to ID the sound with that resource. There are bird songs on line, but I suspect I would have trouble selecting search terms that would locate this bird.
