Do you have a hood deflector? (aka stone guard, stone shield, the thing that slips onto the front edge of your hood)

I have one and mine was noisy as hell at about 65mph because it was loose. It should be snug with little to no movement at all. You should not be able to lift it up.

If there is any movement then take it to the dealership and get then to adjust it to make it snug.

Now if you don't have this accessory then I got no clue...

I had a similar problem on my car at first I thought it was inside my dash broad I took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong with the it. After having the car in the shop for 5 days, they found out it was not inside but on the outside of the car. It was the black molding around my windshield. check it out to see if it's loose. Hope that helps

Check the dust shield underneath then front of the car. I doubt it would have come loose or be damaged but you never know.
