Default rear end grinding noise??

I'm having some kind of sound come from what sounds like my left rear wheel. Whenever i'm driving(not on the gas cause i can't hear it over the exhaust), theres a sound that just kinda sounds like wind swirling around in a tunnel coming from the passenger rear wheel. My stepdad thinks it could be the wheel bearing, any chance it could be anything else?

Check the rear diff to see if you have any oil left. When the last time u change your rear diff oil ?
