Engine has become loud

This is the first time this year ( after winter), i went for a long drive on the highway and wanted to take the max (VQ30 -SE with no mods)to 150km/hr (95mph)...although it did get there quickly, but for some reason, i could hear the engine humming that speed..i remember in previous years and at that speed..it would be very quiet and i could not tell it had reached 95mph....
Does everyone's car do the same thing at that speed? The temp outside was roughly 53F ( 13C).
Any input will be appreciated

If your car was standing throughout winter (I am assuming it was) then the oil needs some time to get moving again....I'd recommened an oil change anyway......

My friend's car was at a shop for 3 weeks without moving and when he got it back he had the same type of noise....he just drove and it started to go away....well still hear it.....he says it's probably the HLAs in his car
