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.

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?.
