Depends on the sound - if it changes frequency pitch when you speed up or slow down, then it's likely the main rear-end bearing wearing out. It sound like a steady whine - the key is whether the sound changes when you speed up/slow down, telling you it's a rear end problem. Brake sounds would only be heard during braking, etc.

The other likely cause is in the same area, and that's an axle bearing wearing out. Same sound as a differential (rear-end) bearing going bad, but less volume.
