Put it in neutral or depress the clutch while driving above that speed and let the rpms drop. If the sound changes with the lower revs it's lump related. If not, then it's something else involving drive train rotation.

Check the tension on both the fan belt and the power steering belt.

They squeal when they're not happy!!

Don't forget the handbrake drum and internal mechanism. Mine was squeaking a great deal and I spent some time looking at all the moving parts such as wheel bearings and propshafts, as well as whether the exhaust could be rubbing on the chassis. Eventually I zeroed in on the handbrake as the guilty party. New shoes and a spring kit have made it much quieter.

Prop shaft UJ's. Mine sounded like a whole flock of Budgies even though moving them by hand indicated there was no play. There was though and I'd nearly worn through one of the journals before the budgies became unbearable.

Props tend to chirp when they aren't happy
