Rear bearing may be bad... could be diff? bearing? brakes?
I know an easy way to test is to jack up the car and wiggle the wheel, I haven't had a chance to do that yet... any other tests? how hard to replace?
basically, it is making noise... increases with vehicle speed, not engine speed... I guess it COULD be the diff, but what would the symptoms of that be?

If you go around a corner, does the sound get quieter or louder?
Which side does the sound seem to be coming from?
The diff would likely whine, wheel bearings tend to groan/roar.

it is a not a whine... which is nice...
it sounds like rear passenger side....
not sure if it changes on turns, I'll have to look into it...
how much this kinda thing cost? something I can do or easier just to pay a shop?

if you go around a right hand turn, and the sound goes away, it's that bearing...
this is a good job to bring to a shop that has an on the car bearing tool, as it will save you huge time and $$. Generally, it's 1 to 1.5 hrs plus the bearing.
..that was what i used for a 2000 A4 1.8TQ
