if its coming from the rear end it could be a wheel bearing or a bearing inside the rear differential and also does it make the noise while youre driving or coasting or just shifting from park to drive?

if thats what your problem is yes. inspect your rear U joint first. you should be able to see if something is broken. also if its loose that also means something is broken.
