I don't think you have moles or voles because there is no mounding of soil around the hole from the critter digging it out.
I think they are exit holes for cicadas as they emerge, I see them in my lawn and garden regularly. https://aggieturf.tamu.edu/wp-content/uploads/Mounds-of-fury-Segars.pdf
Thanks for the question.
