whistlin' wheels or something...

wheels "whistling".

no, not whistling a tune, but a whistling seems to be coming from the front wheel/tire/hub/somewhere.
it seems to get higher when I go faster, and kind of get interrupted when I hit small bumps. but it is still there. when I used my brakes I discovered it is exactly the noise (but quieter) that the brakes make on the rims if I just squeeze them a bit but do not brake hard. I looked at the brake pads and they do not seem to be rubbing on the rims as I am riding. any guesses? is it nothing? thanks.
