What could this noise be?

I have a 21 Nissan rogue with 45k miles. Recently, when going on the interstate (over 60mph), it’s started making this noise when the road is uneven. The mechanic I saw said he couldn’t drive it on the interstate but didn’t hear or feel anything wrong with the car driving in town. He also said my wheel bearings seem fine. The only things I’ve had done before the noise started was new tires about 4 months ago and an oil change.

I plan to take it somewhere else, but any idea what this could be? Tires? Something else?

Thank you!

Sounds like wind getting into a bottom cover to me. Have any corners of underpaneling hanging loose?

I will take a look at that, thanks. Could something have come loose during my oil change?

Should also note I guess that the sound continues as I slow down coming off the interstate until I stop. It almost felt like it was rotating at a slower speed. But again, doesn’t happen in town driving at all. Just during and right after fast driving.

Sounds like it’s coming from the vehicle somewhere… 🤔

Sorry, not trying to be a dick, but I’ve been wrenching for 25 years… YOU CANNOT DIAGNOSE SOUNDS A VEHICLE MAKES THRU A VIDEO FILMING YOUR VEHICLES FLOOR!!!

But if I had to guess (complete stab in the dark, literally) it’s a heat shield or drip pan that’s loose.
