Chances are if it goes away when you turn right, you have a bad wheel bearing in the right side of the car. When you turn right, you take weight off that side of the car and a bad wheel bearing will normally quiet.

Lift the vehicle and check to see if there is any play in the wheels. Check both front and back.

Let me know what you find.
