Default Whining noise when front brake ABS kicks in

Hello,

I drive a Fat Boy Lo, 2012, done about 31,000 KM.

I recently noticed a whining "more of a screaming" sound when I over do the front brakes and ABS kicks in, this noise disappears as soon as I let go of the lever, no sounds unless the ABS kicks in, brake is working fine, no noise if ABS didn't kick in, and I already replaced the brake pads, and never did a brake fluid bleed and replacement.

The ABS light turns off as soon as I start moving, and no ABS error code.

Rear brake ABS kicks in with no similar sounds.

Does it sounds kinda like crickets chirping?

No its a continuous sound, it's similar to the sound that trucks make when they use thise magnetic breaks to slow down. And only when the ABS kicks in. I wish I can post sounds or videos to the this thread so that you can hear it.
