Time for an update!
First, thanks to everyone who shared experiences and opinions. Every one was valuable in their own way. Here’s the full story of how I finally solved this issue:
I listen to the “Under the hood show” podcast, and decided to call in with my problem. The host suggested brakes, but stated that if I brought it to their shop, they would use “Chassis Ears” to isolate the noise. I’d never heard of these before, but found one for $100ish on Amazon and gave it a try. BUY ONE!!! Life changing tool. I put 4 mics on all four bearings and drove in a circle in a parking lot, isolating each one. I could distinctly hear grinding coming from my right rear louder than the others. I moved all 4 mics to the rear diff, brake drum, wheel bearing and left bearing (for comparison) and pinpointed the sound to the bearing. I bought a new one from 1A Auto. I was apprehensive about changing it myself, but after a few youtube videos I decided to give it a try. There is a critical tool that you need to pull the rear bearing, in combination with a hydraulic press. There are some knock off tools available, but I followed the advice of one youtuber and emailed the original designer directly. Duane is extremely helpful and will give you a deal if you email him directly and cut out the middleman -
dtb2253x@yahoo.com. Here’s his tool on ebay:

Long story short, don’t forget to remove the snap ring! I blew out a 20 ton press before I remembered to pull it.
The happy ending: New rear wheel bearing, no more noise!
