clicky sound

recently i notice my 01 max started making this clicky sound when i'm driving under 30 mph. it sounds like click click click click click click........i think it's coming from the rear. recently had the rear brakes and new muffler done, would the wheel bearings make that sound? what could it be?\
thanks

Check your rear tires for a screw, nail, or a rock stuck in the tread.

if its a steady click that increases with speed, where ever end you hear the noise to be coming from, try jacking up that end of the vehicle and obviously secure it on jackstands and try spinning the suspect tires to see if it repeats itself. Or simply, as was previously mentioned, inspect your tires for foreign objects. If its an intermittent click, check for loose hardware in the aforementioned parts that were serviced.

I was told numerous times that wheel bearing don't make a click sound but rather a grinding/howling sound
