Rear wheel noise

I have a noise from the back wheels... grinding ....but it gets louder when I hit the gas, as soon as I take my foot off, no matter how fast I'm going it dies down, about 75% less noise when I take my foot off the gas.... what do you think...rear, or wheel bearings...??????

you sure its the wheels? sounds to me like it could be the diff gears if it dies down when you take your foot off the gas... kuz correct me if i'm wrong but the driveshaft does move faster/slower when you are accelerating/coasting. Could also be driveline itself.

Just my guess.. i'm sure others will have their input too

Good luck
