Default 2003 400ex loud humming noise in 2nd gear

My honda 400ex is making a loud humming noise in at top of 2nd gear, when I shift into third gear the noise goes away. I looked for any signs of tire rubbing or loose plastic or parts, and theres nothing obstructing. I bought this bike used it has the 440 kit with aftermarket cam and a supertrapp exhaust. The bike runs great superfast and doesnt have any problems other than what I described. Is it possible that I am reaching the rev limit? Prior to this quad I have only owned a honda 250r which does not have a rev limiter. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
