Harmonic at 40-50 mph?

New Countryman S now a month old, and we're very happy with the purchase (coming from a MINI Cooper S).

Not a big deal, but...I notice a audible 'harmonic' (tone) at in-town speeds of 40-50 mph. Don't know where it's coming from (don't have a roof rack mounted), but obviously it's caused by wind moving past 'something.' It's audible from both the driver's and front passenger's seat. It's a noise from outside the vehicle, not inside. And, it does not sound mechanical; almost positive it's a wind created noise.

Like I said, not a big deal...turn on the radio and you can't hear it, and I don't hear it at freeway speeds.

Anyone else notice this? If so, any idea where it's originating? It's like a one-note musical tone.
