Siren Sound @ 75-80 mph

Recently started hearing a sound at roughly 75-80 mph. The sound only happens when my foot is on the gas. The second I press the gas in that speed range it starts to sound like a distant tornado siren. Under 75 its not noticable to not even there, over 80 and its gone again. Any guesses as to what it could be?

If I had to take a guess with the information currently available, it may be your Baja roof rack.

For more info its currently at 50k and has no other modifications. Hoping its just the rack but havent noticed in the past since having the rack. Have a long tripped planned soon and want to make sure I shouldnt be concerned about any bearings or anything.

Did you recently move or change anything on the rack, like a crossbar or something?

Maybe it is the Police in their Ford Exploder trying to catch up to you?

This is almost certainly not the issue you're having, but it reminded me of the classic car prank where you tape a harmonica to the underside of your buddy's bumper with the mouth part facing forward.

I've heard a faint sound with my 2019, sort of like a sound made when blowing across the top of a bottle. Somewhat low-pitched, and I hear it at lower speeds, 50-60ish. Only happens now and then, and always seems to be when I'm in an open area with a bit of a crosswind. It doesn't seem to follow mechanicals at all. I've just attributed it to the front fascia and the various cutouts in it. I'm not bothered by it.
