A few years ago a friend of mine, a mechanical engineering 
professor in automotive engineering, loaned me a book that he 
thought was basic enough that I could "get" it. Most of it was, and 
it was pretty explicit about knock being a WOT/low RPM thing.

OTOH, I have no idea what you are hearing at 70 MPH. Perhaps 
you're running too rich and the unburned gas is exploding in the 
exhaust? I really don't know, just thinking out loud.
