Default 1985 245 Howling & Whistling

Like the title says, my 85 wagon is making an absurdly loud howlig and whistling noise from the front end. It's movement related, not connected to the revs. I've ruled out the pilot bearing as well. It makes the same loudness noise and pitch anywhere from 5 to 70+ mph. Once the cars been driven for 10 minutes or so it kinda just stops. It'll do it for let's say 30 seconds and then stop for 10 seconds then pick back up for 3 minutes. Over and over.

I thought it was the front wheel bearings so I replaced all 4 of those and it's still doing it. It also did it with my winter rims and wheels. I've replaced the exhaust manifold gasket as that was leaking but is unrelated.

Like I've said, changing revs doesn't do anything. Clutching doesn't do anything. It doesn't actually change whether I'm going 10 or 50 mph. It's all the same. Any thoughts would be really appreciated, I'm completely lost

maybe coming from the mid driveshaft bearing. you can inject spray grease into it before thinking about replacing.
see if that stops the noise.
