Default 92 Civic SI Hatchback Vibration Sound

Hi guys, I'm hoping you can help me figure out what this is.

A couple of days ago I started hearing a buzzing sound coming from the rear right hand side of my car. I hear it in all gears except 5th, so in 2nd around 20 kph, in 3rd between 35 and 40 and in 4th between 50 and 55 kph. Once I move past those specific ranges the sound goes away so I think it must be vibrational.

I rotated the tire to see if that helped at all and it didn't. I also put my foot on the clutch at those speeds when the buzzing started and it immediately went away, it only happens when the engine is engaged. I'm hoping to figure out whether it is the wheel bearing or just some loose wiring or something that is buzzing when the car engine is vibrating at a specific range.

Also, it doesn't start making the sound until I've been driving for about 5 min or so.

Thanks for your help!

Jack it up and do a 12-6 and 3-9 shake test. (imagine the face of a clock)
Do you have any modified suspension?

No modified suspension and the wheel doesn't seem to be loose.
