Default Loud intermittent buzzer noise only while moving

Hey guys, new to the forum! Hope someone can help! While riding down the highway, my 2003 FXDL makes a loud buzzer noise( as in a wrong answer sound or a very pronounced AATTTTT sound), only happens while bike is in motion. It has happened at different speeds, when coasting and accelerating, can't pinpoint the location it's coming from. I thought it might be a problem in the primary so I checked that out and all looked good, changed primary oil while I was at it. The bike only has 11,300 miles on it, I've owned it for 4 years now and haven't had any problems until now. Any help would be appreciated.

Headlight? The rivets in the headlight bucket can loosen up and make a loud buzzing noise at certain rpm.

11K on an '03. I think it's the bike screaming it wants to be ridden more.

The sounds is definitely coming from under the bike. Went on a ride with friends last weekend for about 8 hour ride, heard the noise 3 different times. I'm leaning more towards trans. or engine. It makes the noise when coasting at low rpm's, at low and high speeds, bike is always moving when I hear the noise. it's loud enough that a friend on a different bike said they heard it. Again, its a buzzer or AATTTTT sound under the bike.
