Just noticed this last night. After acceleraring to about 30-35 miles an hour and letting my foot off of the gas, it almost sounds as if the car is reving at a higher RPM, but the RPM?s are going down according to the gauge. Almost soung like the tires are rubbing or vibrating. The sound is like a microwave running. Any cluse? The front tires were replaced 2 weeks ago. Could it be the brakes?
If it happens again get out and feel the caliper ( assuming you got mags ) or rotor. If they are hot to the point you can't keep your hand on it you may be gragging a brake. Caliper might not be releasing or the slides are sticking.
Good Luck.

It sounds more internal. The sound only begins after going 30-35 mph. The sound has not stopped since it started. If it is the caliper, how do I fix it?
Better have the wheel bearings checked before a wheel falls off.
It could be the wheel bearing buzzing. One way to tell is get up to speed and try jerking the steering wheel about 2-3 inches quickly to the left, then the right, then straighten out. Doing this will take the load off each of the wheel bearings and the noise may diminish some or go away completely. If the sound changes or goes away then it more than likely is a bad wheel bearing hub assembly.
Good Luck.
