Default A strange new noise, possible bearing?

So Ive developed a new noise and I need some help diagnosing the problem. When I am coasting(not braking, and not on the gas) I get a squeaking noise the correlates directly with my speed. However, it disappears right away when I press on the gas, but not when I press on the brakes. I also have a vibration occuring in all rpm ranges, it is not the driveshaft as I recently installed an SYE.

Im thinking this is a wheel bearing in the front or rear but I'm not for sure. Does anyone have any experience with changing wheel bearings on a Chrysler 8.25-29 spline?

I think he's referring to the engine bearings. Which it could be. Has the engine ever suffered any "traumatic experiences"?
