Question "Hissing" Noise

I have a very slight hissing that only happens above 25-30mph. It doesn't get any louder with speed but does not happen while sitting still. At first I thought it may be coming from the stereo, as it almost sounds like slight static, but it also happens w/o the radio on. It's not the tires, I have had them longer than the noise. It comes from the front, but does not seem to be from engine. Could it be a slight windshield leak? It seems to come from the base if windshield(?), but I have no moisture of any kind in cab. BTW truck is 2wd and yes I did search before asking. I'm stumped, anyone else had this problem?

could be something in the cowl area. i had some ice down there that has rattled around and when it hits a certain spot it will make some funny sounds....just a shot in the dark. first thing i would do is take it to a car wash and make sure you have all the junk off of it...and the pressure might show you where you have a slight leak in the windshield by having it start to fog up on the inside around it w/ hot water.

Thanks, but i live in South Florida even though its been cold here I'm pretty sure its not ice. Thanks for the reply, though, I'll keep looking.
