\'Orrible noise on my Multistrada?

Can anybody help me with this one? My MS has done 14.5k miles. Some 2k miles ago I started noticing at highish revs/speeds the bike instead of having a steady noise or beat started sounding undulating like wawawawa.............and on and on. If the clutch is pulled in no noise at all, so can't be chain.
I've scratched my head, taken it to Ducati Leeds who couldn't find anything, certainly not a tight chain but they didn't ride it fast due to the weather and their licences.
There is also a nasty snatchy pinging sound when the power is taken off suddenly. What I'm thinking is the primary drive gears? or something in the drive train outside of the obvious chain of course.
I would quite like to ignore it of course but I'm concerned as it is just out of warranty now plus the safety angle if it does blow.
Any ideas at all? Thanks very much
