Whistling Noise from front wheel?

I went for a ride today and there is a noise coming from the front wheel. The whistle becomes progressively more rapid as the wheel speed increases and happens when the bike is and is not under power. I assumed that it was the brakes since I've experienced something similar on a car. I rode about 50 miles stopping halfway and upon restarting I noticed the noise again. I can't tell whether it ever stopped or was just drowned out by the engine noise. But on both legs of the trip it did notice the noise up to around 25mph then I forgot about it after that. There were no other symptoms or issues while riding. I last rode on 3 days ago and it is not exposed to any rain or elements while parked. Anyone else experience this?

Sorry - I swear I tried searching first, I always do, just never seem to get many hits.
