Just as a general source for things of this type:

You need to have a look at the Pentagon Synth (a truly underrated and underused Cakewalk Synth).
With Pentagon, you have white noise as a choice for the oscillators. 

You can play with the Drive, Chrous, EQ and Output (Spread).  Eventually you'll find the settings to put out a monster-white noise sweep, worthy of synths like Sylenth1.

For the Filter sweep, use the Filter section, of course using the Lowpass (or maybe even better) Bandpass.  However, if I recall correctly, I think I actually preferred an outside filter (Fabfilter) instead.

Amazingly, there's no reverb in Pentagon, so you'll have to use whatever Cakewalk one you want, if you need it.

You can also turn on a few of those oscillators as saw, square or even sine, and then modulate the pitch over time to create a pitched-white noise riser.   Also do the standard sidechain compression to make it pump.

Hope this helps!

I seem to have Pentagon I in my system, but it won't open when I call it up. Perhaps it's an old 32-bit install?

I'm more looking for a synthetic analogish wind sound (i.e. "whOOOOOSSSSSSH!"), where I can control the cutoff with the mod wheel.

 
Dimension Pro has a number of noise multisamples in the 80 - Test Sounds and 90 - Noise subfolders.  Rapture has the 900 - noise wavetable, plus many oscillators nearby that mix noise with pitched material.
 
From there, it's fairly straightforward to enable a filter and assign the cutoff to the modwheel.

The free SFZ should load noise samples.  As b rock sez, filter to please.  Sally picks sea samples down by the sea shore.
