Unlikely to be Oak BC as they don't stridulate, only tap their hind leg on a leaf, so you'd need phenomenal hearing to hear that!
I'm wondering if what you've heard is an escaped cricket species as these are regularly sold in pet shops as reptile, spider,etc food + do escape. Some such as the House Cricket do occasionally form temporary colonies.
