Swap wheel to the other side and see if vibration follows.

bent rim, unbalanced tire, axle, wheel bearing.

The correlation with acceleration would be a good fit for an unbalanced or improperly dampered axle.

Thanks for all the advice. My first thought was my wheel bearing being bad...but I thought that that would be a constant occurrence of vibrations. This seems to be at extreme random and fallows no particular pattern. For instance I did a lot of driving yesterday and it happened a good bit. Today I did about the same amount and it didn't happen at all so I'm unsure if it's my axle but that's my primary suspect right now. I'm open to all the advice that can be thrown at me including issues I might run into in the future

Did you try swapping wheels around one at a time to see if the vibration/sound follows a wheel to a new location? It was recommended above by Swift, but you don't mention if you did it and what the results were. You wanna solve this sooner rather than later, your tires/wheels are what keep you from hurtling off the road, suddenly out of control.
