jack the car up at the rear and spin the wheel and listen for any noises and check for play in the wheel ie check side to side movement and top and bottom movement

Hi jack all the wheels off the ground or have it on axel stands then put it in gear and give it a rev you will hear what bearing it is no problem when the wheels are off the ground.

Spin the wheel on a 4WD Ha!
Drive down the road at 30mph swing the steering from left to right, If the noise is louder while turning right its your left hand bearing and vice versa HTH.
