Noises problem
1996 Lexus ES 300 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 216000 miles

My fantastically running Lexus ES300 (1996) has just one problem (perhaps aerodynamic in nature).
Between 45 and 60miles of speed it makes a strong annoying noise that one can not hear below 40miles or above 60miles per hour. The noise does not affect its running condition and has been there for at least a year.
Any ideas, or suggestions before I take it to Lexus and spend a lot of money on a diagnostic evaluation of a very old car?
Thanks you,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Does the noise occur when transmission is shifted to neutral?
Does it increase or decrease in intensity or noise level while accelerating, cruising or decelerating?
Any vibrations felt then?
