i dunno. if it is a buzz then it's electrical. if it's a whir or a grind it is usually mechanical. might be one of your bearings.

one last question is it while driving or sitting still? if while driving then it's your rear end. something but not sure what. good way to find out is to crack open you differential and see what is inside. look for filings in the oil. or chunks missing off of the ring gear or spiders. my boss had this happen to his suburban.
