If you have a front wheel drive vehicle and the rear wheels make a roaring noise you need to replace the rear bearings. Don't do high speed driving until you get this fixed; if the bearings get hot enough they will heat up and spin the axle off.

Well, sorry to tell you but there is a small lion they stick under the car between the fuel tank and the trunk floor, they tie a string to his balls and tie the other end to the throttle, unfortunately, the faster you go the more he howls... now, for the real answer, either you have a broken exhaust pipe, or you have a bad wheel bearing. both are easy to diagnose, a little harder to fix. start the car, and go to the tail pipe, you should be able to feel the exhaust coming out the tailpipe, if not you probably have a broken part somewhere, now take out the jack and lift each side of the car, grab the top and bottom of the tire and try to shake it then do both sides, you should have very little movement, anything more than 1/16 and you have a bad wheel bearing, also just spin it and listen for a grinding sound, if you have drum brakes in the back, they will probably catch at some point and be a little hard to turn, and make a rubbing noise, this isn't the bearing or the problem

Since the crowd feels that either bearings or the muffler is the culprit, here is how to tell the difference. In the event of bearing noise, the sound is dependent upon the wheel rpm, not throttle settings such as acceleration. So if you were to travel down the road at 40mph and suddenly floor it, the amount of exhaust gas suddenly doubles or triples. As we all intuitively know, exhaust noise also suddenly increases. To suddenly double the rpm of the wheel bearings would require you to rapidly reach 80mph. Therefore if the noise is dependent upon acceleration and not vehicle speed, the problem is the exhaust system. If the noise gets worse with speed independent of acceleration, wheel bearings are your culprit. You might note that the stock Neon muffler is centered under the trunk, not under the floor.

Obviously it must be a wheel bearing or your muffler.....going by all your past answers. Does the junk have any other symptoms?? I own a 1998 Dodge Neon...aka junk my self. It to makes a roaring type sound that get louder when I accelerate and I was told it is the muffler as well and that there maybe a hole in my floor board too. I have replaced the head gasket in this car twice....it leaks from god knows where ..2" inches of water on the floor in the back seat as we chat. UGH!!!
~~BEST OF LUCK TO YOU~~

Wheel bearings absolutely have never and will never roar !!!
Park your car, ok ? Put it in park, oK ? now step on the accelerator and see if it roars, ok ? If it roars you got bad muffler or exhaust pipe. If not you got other problem but not wheel bearing.,not any bearing. Some people paranoid about bearings.

Put your car on a jack and turn each rear wheel to see if you have a bad wheel bearing.

Try unleashing your dog from the rear bumper...just kidding. Check your wheel bearings and breaks.

It sounds like a bad wheel bearing.
