Bearing/Wheel Hub Noise?

Bearing/Wheel Hub Noise?
Hey everyone,
I have a 2000 GMC Jimmy 4x4, and around 20-30mph, under (extremely) light throttle, I get an intense whirring noise from the right rear tire. If I give it a little more gas, the volume lowers, but it's still there.
Around 35mph, it's constant. If I'm completely off the gas, I get the same sound just softer.
What's bad? My wheel bearing? Hub? Talked to dad, and he mentioned it could be a bearing but whether it was inner or outer bearing he couldn't say.
Like to consider myself Blazer savvy (brother and mom have one too) but I definitely need some help. It's driving me nuts.
Thanks you!

It definitely sounds like it could be a wheel bearing. They are fairly cheap in terms of parts, but you do have to pull the rear diff cover to be able to get the c-clip out and remove the axle.
You may want to check the u-joints as well.
