when accelerating once i get between 35 and 40 mph i hear a clicking or something sounding kind of loose(hard to tell if it's just clicking). i'm wondering what might cause this and if the fix is cheap or not.

This sounds like a U joint problem, I would remove the driveshaft to inspect the joints , check the images below to show you how. Also I would check to see if the trims are tight on the car. This guide can help

Check out the images (Below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is. Keep your eye out for rust colored dust around the joint which is a sure sign it needs to be replaced.
