I am going to look on the positive side of things here. It sounds like you're getting in touch with your bike a lil more. I went through this same thing with my r6, stressing over every little sound until I vetted everything out. When everything is right, your bike is finely tuned instrument, and like most... they will have a sound representative of such precision.

Aside of that, there are sounds that spell trouble ahead of time, these normally have a distinct pattern and are repeatable under conditions. If you can repeat your sound, you will find your reason. Got a stand? Throw it up and run it. Do you hear it while not in motion?

And yes... without fairings, the unique sounds your bike makes will be louder.
