CV was going bad (torn boot that will get replaced RSN). But the sounds
didn't sound right for that.

It took me a while to finally identify the culprit. The straps holding
various stuff up in the luggage rack of my Westy. Seems I had tightened
them up just enough so that they "sang" in the wind. Gah,
