I live outside the metro area, west and south of DC, and have heard a lot more planes for the past month or so. Last night and this morning, I've been up since about 7 am edt, it's been a constant stream of planes flying overhead.

I used to live almost next door to you. Most likely what you are hearing is commercial traffic. Sometimes Dulles changes their patterns based on wind which is likely rerouting over your head.

Note the P8 circling right over the area where the Ever Given is beached.
I know there are commercial flights mostly out of Manassas but this is new. It's now nearly 11 pm and I'm still hearing numerous planes overhead. This is very unusual. I'm not that close to DC. Thanks to everyone and thanks, blacksmith21, for the link.
Maybe they're just flying lower because of the weather but this is a LOT more planes than we would normally hear.
