you could have an air leak on the headers or the muffler.

Make sure all the bolts on the muffler and pipe are tight. Sometimes when mines cold i makes a whiny sound from the crankcase.

Stop riding right now. Your cam bearings are putting a thrust load on the rocker arms . Its probalbly to late the damage has been done. Your engine is full of metal shavings and riding it more than a few miles after you hear the noise will waste all of your bearings as well.

Im just kidding ,check for a loose exhaust. You want engine niose you should hear my cannondale at idle.

Is your heart attack simlar to the feeling of meeting a sportsman700 while powersliding a blind corner. I would know that feeling.
