First, were does the sound seems to be coming from?
 
  Let be tell you what happened with my 05 Equinox, could be the same thing.
  There was a humming sound coming from the back and I made some little tests to see what it could be.
   When rolling I put the truck in neutral, the sound was still there, rev the motor, the sound didn't change, put the truck in park (motor running), no humming sound. The faster I drove, the higher the sound was. It was a sound like I'd be rolling on tractor tires. Letting the truck roll by itself (on neutral) the sound would change when the truck was slowing down, going down a hill on neutral the sound would change picking up speed.
  Had to change a left rear wheel hub bearing. That was it, no more humming sound, it was riding on air.
  Hope this helps.
