Default Whistle/Whine while on highway

My 2013 LR4 has started to sound a little like an airplane while between 50-70 mph.

Recently had the front diff replaced for some funky vibrations. The diff replacement didn't fix the vibration and left me with a small jet plane engine that sounds like its coming from the speakers by the dash.

I'm 99% sure its not wind noise because it depends on whether I'm accelerating. sometimes you can hear it on decel but its much quieter. My wife who never hears any car noises even heard this one.

The mystery vibrations (for the curious) is like a pulsing WOOOMP WOOOMP thats very rhythmic and comes in at 65mph and leaves at 75.

I've seen similar threads where this noise comes from the front diff when the bearings start to go. Any ideas?

I’m getting the same vibration in mine. I also get some chatter from the front end when shifting from 3-4 gear. My lower control arm bushings in the front are shot and I’m starting there. I’m told by my local Indy that he feels this is the cause of both. I’ll report back if that’s not it. I do notice the vibration only on climbs at 50-70. On descents nothing. Same for you?
