Doug,
I run messenger lines in place of my halyards for the winter and this
past winter the parachute cord I use for the main halyard sings like a
guitar string in very gentle breezes. When I tighten it up it changes
pitch. Willing to bet somewhere you've got a vibrating line, as others
noted the telltale being "only when a wind blowing".

For the past couple of months I have had a harmonic noise that sounds
like a UFO. It appears to be coming from the mast, but only with a
wind blowing, light or otherwise.
Being moored across the bay from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard first few
times I heard it, had me looking outside for UFOs. I don't think its
wind in the rigging.
It just started this year when I got back from my 5 month road trip to
Florida.
Is Rebecca Leah punishing me for being gone so long?
