Default Bad rear wheel bearing??

What does a bad rear wheel bearing sound like? I have a scratching sound coming from the rear of my car that gets louder when you turn to the left. Could this be a bad bearing?

Usually you will hear it more going around turns then in a straight line.

Also if you jack the rear you would have some play if you grab the tire at the top/bottom I believe.

It was a false alarm, the rear emergency brake cable was rubbing the lip of my CCW.
