Did you run over something stick like tape or something or did you get a nail that was making noise? I've noticed stuff like that before.

Flat spot or egg (lump) on the tire, maybe.

Jack up the rear and rotate the wheels by hand and listen for brakes dragging, etc.

Drive real slow and have somebody walk along side and listen for the sound. Put a piece of tape on the wheel that's making the sound then have the person note the position of the tape when the sound occurs. That will help you identify where on the tire the actual problem area is.
