A bad bearing makes a rumbling or growling noise. Bad gears make a whining sound. But you can't really tell until you can listen to each component since the differential has bearings in it.

If you block up (unless you have a hoist, I prefer cribbing to jackstands) the back of the car to get both wheels off the ground you can listen to the hubs and the differential using a dowel. It will be obvious where the noise is coming from.
