I keep hearing this "ta ta ta ta ta" noise from right rear wheel. It has megan coilover and break pad was swapped about a month ago.

The noise is a lot louder during acceleration but is near silent when coasting at neutral.

I visually checked the wheel and I haven't seen a thing protruding or out of normal.

What could be the problem?

i dont understand your description of the noise. Check for a nail in your tire. wheel bearing. brake pads. ? that's all i can think of right now.

The noise is not metallic. It sounds like a plastic. But when I checked the wheel and wheelwell area, I haven't found any thing that got in the way of the wheel or break assembly. Only thing that I could think of was the loose break pad so I reassembled the break assembly and sound keep coming.

How do I check the wheel bearing?

try to jiggle your wheel while it's on the ground. It shouldnt really move anywhere, but if it feels loose, that's usually a sign that your wheel bearing is no good. (facing towards the wheel, push and pull)

You meant I should try wiggling the wheel only after jacking the wheel up. Right?
