After further inspection, the whirring noise was evident as I was taking left-hand turns at speed. The whirring noise would get significantly quieter when I would turn right. This prompted my mechanic to believe it was the right rear wheel bearing.
Removed the OEM wheel bearing and replaced it with and American Bearing brand. It is a completely sealed bearing as opposed to the OEM which isn't sealed. The OEM bearing was definitely shot. An upside to this repair was that we were able to disassemble the parking brake drum, clean it up, and readjust it. Now it works very well!
Total out the door was $380 including wheel bearing and parts for the parking brake.
