What is this sound coming from my rear wheel?

Definitely wheel bearing and almost certainly a colapsed one not just a little worn

i agree with shocks your probably rubbing on something. Also you could have got something tangled up in the wheel. Lastly your lug nuts were loose

Hi so it is old and needs some attention which could be so many things now. time to get dealer to look at it then. how you expect us to know

what could be wrong with a 12 year old rust bucket.

No way to be sure, but it could be a bad wheel bearings.

There is a noise really loud coming from my rear wheel area whether I'm driving slow or fast. When I got out the car and started shaking it up and down it was making the noise. The wheel was also loose as I was able to pull it back and forth.

I had it towed, but there was nobody there on Sunday so I had to leave a voice mail. The tow truck drive said it was likely the shocks. However, even though it did make the noise when moving up and down, the wheel was also loose.

The car originally came from Michigan and it has a lot of rust, and I already replaced some rusty parts.

It is a 2002 Mazda Protege ES- 5 speed manual.
