Bad wheel bearing or noisy rs3's
Long story short. Humming sound from the rear of the car after 60. It goes away the slower I go. I did axle cup swap about 2 months ago with S2Kwalt and everything went perfect no noise or vibrations after. Install new rs3's and sounds starts about a 2 months later. Could it be just a noisy tire or a bearing

I had Hankook V12s that made a ton of racket right around the 50-60 range like you mention and it almost sounds like the noise "Turned on" if that makes sense. It was quiet untill this speed and all the sudden made the noise. Now this was well into their life and they were worn down quite a bit when they started making this noise but it was definitely similar
Like mentioned above if you had the opportunity to throw a different set of wheels on the back youd be able to tell in a second. Your video makes it sound like the RS3s are relatively new tires so that makes me think it was a bit different then my issue but then again I wasnt running the same tire.
let us know what you find out!

Put the rear of the car on jackstands (or just jack it up if you're feeling brave), start the car up, put it in gear, and give it some gas. Once the wheels are spinning while in the air, if it makes a noise then you'll know it's the wheel bearings. Not to mention sometimes you can just feel that the bearing is bad while spinning the wheel by hand, the vibrations make it feel like something is grinding, though this can be the diff too, but the bearing will feel more localized.
