I have a roaring sound coming from the rear of the car.

Exhaust? Wheel bearing? My top two guesses.

Did you leave a lion in the back? (ha ha)

But seriously… maybe the tires? Sometimes tires can “roar” at certain speeds.

Sometimes a tank mounted electric fuel pump will start to get noisy as it’s failing.

Maybe they need to let Tony the tiger out.

If the rear tires are factory originals and have never been rotated… it is probably that. Rotate the rear tires to the front. If the noise stays at the rear, I’d say it is a wheel bearing. If the noise goes to the front… replace those tires no matter how much tread is left.
