My passenger side wheel has been making a weird noise. It is only when I push on the gas and once I got past 40 mph it stops.

drive in a left hand circle and if noise increases it may be a wheel bearing. then drive in a right hand circle if noise reduces that will verify it. it could also be an axle shaft so it may do the same.
