1998 Laser Lxi Manual Front End Groaning Noise

Haven't had a chance to put this in the air yet, but am seriously thinking it may just be road noise. Have read a few posts about road noise in these Lasers. Once I hit about 60 it starts to come in, and stops when I go below that. It goes like a real rocket. I think that as I am not used to a small car that is what it may be. I checked the transaxle and it was low on oil. Topped that up, and it didn't make any difference to the noise. Does road noise sound feasible or am I kidding myself?
