I've replaced all 4 tires and changed the diff fluid.

When I turn left, the noise goes away. When I turn right or go forward, the noise is still there.

Would this indicate a bad left or right rear wheel bearing??

Thanks!
Based on the info provided, I agree a faulty rear wheel bearing is the issue. A good mechanic should be able to confirm.
