Default Card in spoke noise at 65+ mph

Man- I feel like I've been monopolizing the forum with all of my issues lately.

I'm getting a card in spoke noise (think baseball card in bike spoke that we all did as kids) at 65+ mph. It's most prominent and consistent when accelerating and stops immediately when I hit the brakes. Somewhat quiet when the window is cracked but much more noticeable when passing a car or physical barrier like a guardrail or concrete barrier. Almost sounds like metal or like when styrofoam rubs together. Definitely coming from the right side.

Recent work includes replacement of both front axles, steering rack, struts (but not mounts or springs), dogbone mount, and front motor mount. I'm also still getting a vibration upon acceleration that I believe is probably the left and right mounts. Any ideas?

I have a feeling it is the thin metal dust cover that goes behind your rotors hitting the spokes. Probably got bent when they were messing with the axles.
