Howl sound at 50kmph

Just curious if anyone has a cat back and notices a howl / hollow sound at around 50 or 55 kmph. i noticed it a while back and wondering if anyone has the same thing, i am sure its probably just exhuast backpressure but just thought i would throw it out there.

Hard to tell--the wind noise is so loud I can't hear anything else.
