I'm gonna tighten my axle nuts, get my tires replaced, and pray that sounds goes away. I'm PRETTY sure its my tires howling. While the rears are off I'll check the bearings for any slop.

It is a design that requires consistant high torque on the hub nut... and the torque spec from the factory and in all the manuals was too low for years. Many destroyed wheel bearings later the dealers know how to fix it but it was generally a design/production screw-up to begin with. Not caused by driving.
