RE: Strange noise
That's kind of hard to diagnose. Where approximately on the bike was the noise coming from? Which bike model?
Since the loudness decreases as the speed decreases, I would think that something is rubbing. Could be the belt hitting the belt guard or something rubbbing on the tire. Have you had any work done recently?

RE: Strange noise
Could not find anything loose or rubbing . I took a ride this morning I didnt hear it like yesterday I think it may have come from my exhaust, I could barley hear it this morning;.what it sounds like the string end of the weed eater spinning, itwas very faint I dont know why it was so loud yesterday.

You might have had something stuck to a tire or maybe a rock wedged in the tread. Inspect your tires. If it's a new bike, there might be a label on the inside of a fender from the factory that is coming off and hitting the tire.
Don't get all paranoid..........then you'll REALLY start hearing strange noises................
