Have your passenger tape the noise if you can. I bet you'll get some great responses. There are so many interpretations of a hum not hearing it.

Both times when my engine sumped, there was a loud whine from the bike. The 2nd time I had my daughter with me and she asked what’s that whine from. Can’t say that’s what he is hearing, just an example.
