Gonna need more info for this one. Does it sound mechanical? Aerodynamic? Interior? Exterior? General location (forward, back, left, right)? Have a passenger ride with you and see if they hear it. Having a different perspective from the passenger seat can often help triangulate the location of a noise.

Don't mean to highjack, but this is a coincidence I have been getting this at around 4K rpms in all gears. Seems to be coming from the drive but I cannot tell. I think its a pulley or belt slipping. I have a GZ vacuum pump which goes to the tensioner pulley and I think it may be slightly slowing the drive belt and causing some slip. I pulled the belts and nothing seems bound up or the pulleys broken in any way.
