Is it always on the highway? Does it have a screeching sound?

look under around the front end of your car for loose trim panels and covers and wheel well liners, etc..

have you had any body work done lately? often, they don't screw everything back down correctly because they don't care enough to pay attention.. so then as soon as you get moving a decent speed, the loose panels flap in the breeze and cause noises.

so just look around under your bumper and around your wheel well for anything that can flap in the wind.

it's a start. good luck.

someone posted about this

Check the plastic trim panels under the radiator/engine area at the bottom. When going high speed they can vibrate and slap against something.
