Jack the vehicle up to where the suspected wheel is off the ground. Then grab the tire at the top and bottom at the same time and attempt to rock it back and forth.
If it moves at in and out at all, the bearing is bad.
Worst case sceaniro if the bearing is bad and you keep driving on it:
1. Bearing gives out, which leads to hub failure when can lead to the wheel coming off or locking up completely. It could also cause a fire if the hub gets too hot. For safety reasons it needs to changed if the bearing is bad.

This is my go-to if nothing else is obvious with a close inspection for other issues.
This is probably not the issue but a friend of mine pranked a co-worker one day by popping off his hubcap and putting a couple small rocks in it and popping it back on.
The guy was driving home and kept hearing a rattling noise coming from the rear of his car, got worried he had a potentially bad issue and had his car towed the rest of the way to his house, costing him over $100. He found the rocks and knew who did it. The other guy reimbursed him for the towing fee, so his prank backfired.
