Sounds like possible cupping on the front tire to me.  How many miles on the tire?

No more than 7825km (4527miles) ;) . They do have some years on them though.

I expect to do a tire change this season sometime as I'll (hopefully) be putting more miles on them.

Agree it sounds like tires.  My old set did it even though I could hardly feel any cupping. Replaced the tires.  No noise.

Driving in a straight line is fairly quiet. When turning, at higher speeds (meaning anything above 20-30km/h) I get this humming noise coming from the front. Can't say for sure if I do or don't feel anything in the handlebars. Is this normal for bikes that have fenders like ours? Something to do with the wind resistance and all, or am I looking for some bearing repairs/replacement or something similar?
