Starting point for the noise is about 65-70 mph. The sound goes away quickly as my car slows down again.. ???

Anyone have any ideas please?

Could wind be making something flap at speed? A loose heatshield or something around the undertray? or something like a split boot on a cv joint and the rubber catching on something as it spins round? Just ideas.
