To check the rear Wheel Bearings you can jack and safly put ont Jack Stands both Rear Wheels off of the Ground. Make sure the front wheels are blocked and start the Engine and put the transmission in Gear. That should start the rear wheels spinning.
With extreme care us something like a Mechanics Stethoscope or a piece of Wood or a long Screw Driver plasec against the Rear Bearing Housing and listen to see if one side sound different from the other or if there is any grinding sounds inside. The other way is to Jack up one rear wheel and remove the Wheel and use a Dial Indicator on the Hub to see if the end/in and out play is more then it should be. Either or both of the above could indicate the Bearngs are worn. Note also if you feel a lot of side play or in and out play on the rear Hub that would also be an indiction the Bearings are worn.

It could and probably is the cv joint you suspect. You just want to be pretty positive before changing it out. I liked a recent members ideal. When the noise was present he backed his car up and the noise stopped for some time. For example I thought I heard my rear wheel bearing a couple of times. I am not positive that is what it was. Nor have I taken the time to localize it yet. Generally if you reoil a rear cv joint and the noise does not leave when you are sure it is originating there. Then yes it should be replaced.

Thanks for the replies. I've oiled it twice now, but the noise is still coming back, although it was gone for about 40 miles after I oiled it again . Is there any oil needed on the inner part of the shaft, the part next to the rear end? I'll try to follow the guidance to check out the bearings too
