Thats why I ask what pressures you guys run.

Thanks.
If you have been running that low a pressure, I suggest you examine the tyres. I'd guess you have 'heel and toe' wear (looks like a saw tooth pattern) on the shoulder tread blocks, which is a noise generator on many tyres.

If you don't have directional tyres and do have the wear, it may pay to swap wheels 'side to side' to reverse the wear pattern and hopefully get rid of the noise. May be too late, but worth investigating.
