From the rear it could be the differential, however those front differentials are notorious for making noise. That whining noise derives from the viscous coupler, and is normal. Bring it to a dealer, not some crappy backyard mechanic. And have a certified Toyota TECHNICIAN inspect the front an rear differential, transmission, and wheel bearings (but those typically hum when bad), I almost gurantee you just hear the viscous coupler noise.
A Toyota RAV4 would make a loud noise while driving if a piece of hardware like the camshaft is damaged or something is caught in the drivetrain. This will result in noise and potentially costly repairs.
If it happens only when turning corners, this is likely to come from the differential. A ball bearing problem would make noise all the time.
