need some help here

im hearing the most annoying noise thats coming from the back right wheel. it almost sounds like there is an intake in there sorta like a whirring sound. when i accelerate it gets louder and sounds like the noise is speeding up when i deccelerate it gets quiter and sounds like the noise is slowing down. i was thinking maybe the wheel bearing but i have no clue man it just started happening about 5 days ago. can someone put insight into this?? thanks

Sounds like a qheel bearing. So .. change it. read the motorvate site for further information.

Could it be an exhaust leak where the muffler connects to the b pipe?

Exhaust noise is indicative of engine speed, not so much vehicle speed.

Lift it up, see if the wheel has any play in it. check the motorvate stice, I don;t remember the exact site, but I'm sure does.
