No. Nothing stuck. I'm seriously not worried about this and don't plan to chase it. Just seeing if the OP or others might be hearing something similar.
Have you checked both the front, left/right air-intakes within the cowlings on the side of the headlights.?Ever since I have had my tenere I have noticed a high pitched wind related noise around the 50-55mph mark. Its been there with crash bars or not, different tires, windscreen on stock bracket in all positions, windscreen on madstad bracket, with or without winglets and with or without a dash infill panel, with or without passenger.
It seems to come from the front of the bike down low but I cant for the life of me figure it out! Any suggestions?

You are going to great lengths to find this sir!hell I have even shifted to neutral and shut the bike off at 70 and let it coast through the 60 to 50 range and sure enough you can hear it come and go.
I get some sort of "tone" at that same speed. Done it for last 31000 miles. Like you, I hear it with a dn without earbuds and with various configuration of windscreens (Madstadt or not, different screens). I found that it seems to happen in 5th gear.
My assumption is that it's a resonant frequency from something. I can't swear that it happened before my Altrider skid plate, but maybe. Or perhaps the skid plate is simply reflecting a sounds.
Don't know if the same as yours or not. I'll try to gauge it on a frequency basis for comparison. Right now I'd put it at the upper mid range of a piano.

Hey! Yes, I hear this too. Is yours a solid tone or does it have little “blips”?
The more that is ruled out makes me close to being certain that's what this is. Something vibrating a certain frequency. Everything has a resonance frequency. Everything.I get a resonance at exactly 60mph . . . .
