Weird Noise 2005 Civic LX SE

I have tried to search the threads to see if anyone else is having this problem but I did not find anything so here I go. I have a 2005 Honda Civic 4 door LX SE. I purchased it July of this year. It now has 23k miles. (I have a long commute to work). This morning I began to hear an unusual noise from the front end. Right side to be more specific. It sounds like a muffled trumpet. I was traveling about 75 mph when it started. I first thought I might have wondered over to the shoulder and I was rolling over the rough spot that is suppose to get your attention when you do wonder over. Nope, I was right in the middle of the lane. It lasted for a few minutes and went away. Then about 10 miles later it started again but was not as loud and only lasted a few seconds here and there. Tires pressure is where it is suppose to be. Alignment is ok. No idling problems. Tranny runs like a top. Steering is ok. From all indications there does not seem to be any mechanical problems that I can notice except for that noise. I drive this car about 175 miles a day with 99% of it interstate. I am due for an oil change which I planned on doing today. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Merry Christmas!!!!!

No mods done to the car. Everything is the same when I bought it. I am not into modifying cars for racing or other things. I bought it for the gas mileage. Anyway, it does not do it a lower speeds. It only did it at high speed and today was the first time I heard it. I first thought it might be the highway aggregate causing the tires to hum but it did it on concrete highway and asphalt highway. I was driving in a straight line maintaining a constant speed. I had already driven about 50 miles when I noticed the noise. I just got the oil changed while at lunch. I had the tech look around to see if anything looked odd. All belts, hoses, fluids, etc... were ok. It was exceptionally cold this morning. It was probably the second coldest day this year for the area.
