Have you had a new screen recently?
Or is any trim loose around the screen?

I had this on my previous 2005 RR S/C. It was due to the plastic 'spacers' under the bonnet (there are 3-4 of them horizontally) just below the wipers in the engine compartment creating a gap between the plastic engine cover and the body work above. They are fixed but a couple of mine had broken off. Without them above about 50mph the air reverberates between the gap making the noise. Probably needs a photo to explain! Seemed a bit of bodge job by LR but they all have them. If this explanation doesn't make sense let me know and I'll go out and take a photo...
