when I drive 80mph that sound then is quieter and same when driving below 70mph that ''areoplane sound'' fades.. Is it wheel bearing ?
 
Wheels could be unbalanced. If it’s front you should feel a slight vibration in the steering.

I have same issue. 2015 A3 Quattro. 26k miles. Pristine condition. Zero shaking or vibration, just when I hit 73-around 80, I hear same noise...WTF?

Mine makes a bit of a whooshing sound when cruising on the motorway and I have Michelin PS4. Might try balancing them though as mine hasn't been done.

I have checked underneath the car and looks like prev owner was off roading properly with this car.. so much mud .. there is possibility dat mud gone into something .. I need to clean it out but I need to put car on the ramp ..
