Any time I'm driving, as soon as I hit 60mph, the car pulls as if it is in between gears and it has a knocking noise. Below and above 60, it's fine.

oh oh, better get the car to a transmission repair shop,
it's going to let you stranded somewhere.
the trasmission is dying.
maybe a transmisson service will do but i doubt it.

If you drive rough roads regularly, you may have a blown shock absorber.
You can test it to get a little idea of whether this has happened by using an oldtimer's method that isn't very precise but can help:
From the front of the car, cause each side (one at a time) to bounce by pressing then letting go repeatedly on a fender.
When you let go, do it at the bottom of the bounce and note what the fender does.
If it rises once, falls, then stops, it is probably OK. If it kind of fades away, then the shock isn't having any influence on it and must be replaced.
I should say both should be replaced; never only one.
As warned, this isn't an absolute test but you can get some kind of a feel for the shocks this way.

Have you checked that the noise is not tyre noise?
Interchange the wheels front to rear (or left to right) to see if it has any effect on the noise.
Only do the test below if the car is securely chocked so as not to move, take great care not to contact moving parts!
Securely jack both the car drivewheels off the ground, then 'drive' the vehicle through through the problem drive speed/gears while listening for the noise. If the noise occurs under these circumstances you may be able to further localise the source by listening (very carefully!)with a short hose pipe held to the ear.

No good news on this one I think
Your whining sound problem is the Layshaft bearings in the gearbox are
badly worn. It also seems that the baulk rings are damaged on 5th gear.
