Thanks. 78,000 miles sure seems early for a wheel bearing failure but with these particular cars you just never know....

Thanks! I was doubting it too, but it turns out it was ... since replacing the (drivers side) rear wheel bearing solved my problem.

Could it be rear differential noise? Could the internal bearings be worn out?

Thanks Jaguar XKR, mine ended up being a (drivers side), rear wheel bearing (inner & outer) ... but before that I wondered the other possibilities that you have suggested.
