Unknown noise

There is a strange noise coming from the front right side of my max. It is noticeable only when accelerating very slowly from a stop (< 5mph, such as creeping along in traffic). Otherwise, this sound or slight humming is completely un-noticeable. The sound could be described as the noise made when one hits a tuning fork, and is very quiet. Comes and goes a little, but stops after about 5mph. I was thinking maybe slight contact hanging up on the front rotor until brake disengages completely? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Ok. so take your brakes apart, lube everything up and put it together again. See if the noise is gone, if it's not keep looking.

How strange...I started having this exact same problem about 2 weeks ago. I removed the front wheels and saw nothing wrong. What's even stranger is that I work in St. Pete. Maybe we can get together and ponder over this together sometime!

That is very strange. I also work in St. Pete, right near Roosevelt and 275. Maybe on a lunch hour or something.
