5th Gear Noise

5th Gear Noise
I have an 05 Electra Glide CVO FLHTCSE2 that has a 103 5-speed. I was out riding last night first time I had the bike out this year and was cruising along. When I was in 5th gear and let off the throttle to slow down a bit the engine started making a howling noise. it sounds similar to the sound of a semi truck passing under a bridge. The sound only occurs when letting off the throttle in 5th gear no other gears. Any idea what may be causing this sound?

I have just over 51,000 miles on it. I checked the belt towards the end of the riding season last year and they seemed to be normal. I believe this is the first time I have been hearing it just not sure if when I put it up a few months ago if it was making the noise or not. I rode about 80 miles in yesterday just around town and on the freeway and it would only happen in 5th gear everytime and only when letting off the throttle.
