Rear bearings definitely go out on Boxsters (search wheel bearing). What yr is yours and is it base or S? The rears seem to be particularly weak on 2001 Ss.

I had an 01S that had a rt rear go bad. Can't help you on the sound - I couldn't hear anything but the mechanic at the dealer said it was bad. It did sound quieter in the cabin after it was replaced - less what I would call "road noise".
