I Have a Toyota Rav4 and It's very loud on the highway?

the interior noise is quite loud when this car is at highway speeds. I seems like it is coming from the rear of the vehicle. One might describe it as a roaring sound. Does this sound like rear wheel bearings need to be replaced or is it just normal tire noise? The car has 115,000 miles and runs perfectly otherwise.

Sounds like a Wheel Bearing to me. That is probably a hub and bearing assembly.

If you have not been good about rotating your tires, the rear tires can get "cupped" (bumps and valleys in the tread). That can make a tremendous amount of noise. Look at the rear tires carefully to see if the tread is even all of the way around, if it is not, that is your noise. You can also try rotating the tires and see if the noise moves to the front or sounds different. That would indicate a tire problem also.

Toyota Rav4 comes with very little sound deadening insulation, because it's cheaper that way. Many have complained of it. And perhaps what little insulation was in there, has now deteriorated making the interior loud.
