Weird noise and vibration while driving please help

So this is hard to explain but sometimes and only sometimes while I'm driving slowly around 15-25mph I hear this sort of clicking sound coming from I think that rear passenger side, sometimes in sync with the wheel spin but other times not. But now I recently was on the parkway doing about 70mph and I hear vibration or rubbing of some sort and can kinda feel it in my seat. But if I'm driving anywhere from 40-50mph I don't notice anything. It's when driving really slow or really fast. This may sound silly but idk anyone have any ideas ??? I'm thinking maybe a wheel hub and bearing is bent or something?? Idk what to think. Before I bring it to a shop if like to hear what others think so I don't go in there blind and get persuaded into pay for something done that won't solve the problem. Any help greatly appreciated

I'd check the tires for any uneven wear; that could be a sign of suspension or alignment problems or perhaps just unbalanced tires. Double-check tire pressure, tight lug nuts, dampers for any leaking, and inspect brake pads and rotors for wear/warpage/damage. Other than that, it might be the bearings. When it happens, do you only feel the vibrations in your seat or do you also feel it on your pedals and/or steering wheel?

Just in the seat and you can kinda hear it as well like it's a moan. Def not the tires they are pretty new. I'm almost positive it's coming from the passenger side rear. I'm gonna have the wheel checked and balance.

Wheel bearing maybe? Did you previously hit anything on that side or do any work? While looking at the wheel, check the brake too...make sure no foreign object is lodged inside the caliper....

When your in those speeds with the problem, try the brakes, and then try turning sharply (slow of course) see if its the same or changes anything. Accelerating, decel too. See if anything is worse or less during each

I remember a while ago a plastic bag somehow got caught up in the caliper but I ripped it out and pretty sure got it all, even so I don't think a plastic bag would cause such vibration ? The click at slow speed and vibration at high speed I've only noticed while driving in a straight, never notice anything while turning...
