We do get a few cargo 747 operators in on a regular schedule, Cargolux and Asiana. It may have been one of them, or it could have been Kelowna Flightcraft's DC-10, that is another classic and makes more noise than the typical modern jetliner.
Or as stated above some of the older cargo 727's can make quite a racket, Purolator's in particular. They usually rattle my windows a bit if they start their turn to the west closer to downtown.
Go to this website and you can see all the incoming and departing traffic for YYC. It is not always 100% accurate and real time tracking has a lag of about 5 minutes.

After hearing it again last night and checking the links you provided, it appears that it is the Morningstar Air 727 that we are hearing.
Thanks for your help!
