Check that tire to see if there's either a piece of gravel stuck in the tread or a nail/screw/other debris actually penetrating it.

It may be the brakes if it has drums back there.

Wheel bearings usually howl. I would look at the brakes and the splash guard if it's rear disk.

agree...also check u-joints....and even loose lug nuts......jack it up (safely) and put in gear and see if you can hear or even see it.....
