Several times on Sunday I heard a distinct ringing sound that was coming from my front brake rotor. When I braked, it would stop — temporarily. It eventually occurred to me that something, probably bombing down Phinney Ridge, had knocked the hub out of alignment.
So I stopped, undid the quick release, banged the front wheel down a couple of times, tightened the hub nut, and set the quick release again. Problem solved.
That could have been bad if I'd left it, maybe, but that wasn't going to happen because it was powerfully irritating: a loud and almost electronic-sounding tone. But I've learned some bike stuff. Go me!
