Does the sound increase with speed. A wheel bearing will make a whirling noise that increases with speed.

I would jack up each side and give the wheel a turn and see if it makes the noise, also grab the wheel and try to move it in and out to see if you have any play in the bearing.

Also when the front brakes wear down there is a little metal scraper that makes alot of noise. It is kind of a warning system.

Here's a couple to check out!

that's all well and good but it's my back that's making noise

when i suspect i bearing, i always isolate the hub by removing the caliper. compare it to the passenger side. if you feel more resisatnce or if it sounds bad then it's a bad bearing. do you see grease/dirt on the cover?

it's my rear hub and i'm trying to take the one off my parts car first before i break anything on my dd. i need it to go to work and back

Open up your rear drums and inspect them. You could of done what happened to me. You busted a springs on the inside and the rear drum fell apart on the inside. Scratches the **** out of it. Wheel bearings grind when they seize up good. Check the tires from rubbing or anything else interferring with rotating assemblies such as wheels.
