I did, actually--and spot on. Good-looking oil. Rain today will delay my finishing a video of all this till tomorrow or so
OK. Hopefully it turns out to be nothing.

Any updates on the noise?

So sorry. I’ve got undownloaded video to test things out. I have ridden though and don’t seem to hear the noise. Or maybe I’m just deafer.
More to follow once I get time to examine and upload a video!

Final analysis?
A) Helmet wind noise (I guess)
B) I’m a nervous Nellie idiot (I guess)
Videos revealed no noise. Changed helmet and got a different whine /slash/ whistle. So, I’m going with that.
Thanks y’all!

I had a helmet when the wind direction was just right and I turned my head I would hear a sound like a faint siren.

Interesting ... I have a Shoei RF-1200 and they are well known for whistling due to wind, and it is worse when the visor is open to any degree. Is your helmet a Shoei?

Schuberth E1 originally, and with my new Schuberth C4 it was a different whine.

Surprised that Schuberths make a whining nise when touted as a quiet helmet.

The RF-1200 was also promoted as a quiet helmet....
Here's the RF-1400 spiel - which reads almost the same as the original RF-1200 ads.
ADVANCED NOISE REDUCTION Optimal shell aerodynamics reduce wind noise around the helmet Vortex Generators on the sides of the shield reduce wind turbulence All-new, airtight window beading provides wind/waterproof seal. New, voluminous cheek pads and removable ear pads further restrain wind noise inside the helmet The RF-1400 provides an incredibly quiet riding experience without blocking the road’s informative sounds.
Left the ear pads in on my X-14 - no gross difference from my RF-1200s..., except when I have the Aeroflow barn door on in the up position: Noise-free - just like an RT. Is that right, Darrell?.
