Weird sound from my Right Rear part of the car

Hey guys,
I just started hearing this really weird sound coming from my right rear part of my car, right like where the tire/rim is....It sounds like the tire is flat, but its not....It just comes on around 40mph and plus....
anyone has any idea what it could be?
thank you

check the air pressure...also check if anything is getting in the way (bent dust cover for the brakes)....also maybe your tire is out of balance? knowing how crazy you drive, i wouldn't be surprised if something broke...

maybe the wheel got loose? use a torque wrench and make sure its bolted to spec. or more than spec.

Last time I heard something like that, there was a huge bulge on the inside face of my sidewall. Worth checking out.

i agree with this one...try a torque wrench and make sure every lug is at 80 ft lbs

If the lug nuts and suspension check out, check out your rear wheel bearing next. Do a search - there's tons of threads on this.
