My car's at the detailer for two days getting Opti-guarded and window tint installed, but I'll do so more evaluation and post back what I find. It's not wheel bearings, those are constant, more of a whine, and increase in pitch and intensity with speed. This is definitely something harmonic going on that relates to the speed of the vehicle.
I wouldn't call this noise a whine; it really does sound like a tuning fork like ruskymx describes.

I've scheduled another appointment with my dealer for next week, but it may get pushed out if SoA & my dealer jointly decide to wait for the district rep. to come before reevaluation my car. I'll keep you all posted on any new developments, and those that I asked to contact SoA, please do so if you haven't already.
