I have a 2006 SI, bought it brand new, and love it! It busted rolled 102,000 and I am hearing a noise coming from the left rear of the car. Any ideas? Thanks

Need a little more info then that.

Clunk, grind, whoosh, buzz, woof, what kind of sound?

When does it occur? All the time? Only over bumps? Does the sound change in intensity as you speed up/slow down?

Any work previously done to the car in the back?

It has never had any work to the rear end, the noise is a constant grind and gets louder at higher speeds.

wheel bearing is my guess

does it sound like a buzzing or humming sound that is consistant with the speed of the vehicle?

sound like an airplane engine? WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?

could be a bad wheel bearing

yea that was my guess, I've taken great care of the car. Needs some new tires so I figured I have it look at then, will be resting in my garage for the summer so something I'll get to in the fall, waiting to get the new 2016 when it comes out

could also be a bad tire, shift them around and see,

but my money is still on a bad wheel bearing

Wheel bearing most likely but I would do what Mikey said and swap the tires to be sure. Or when you have the rear end up spin the tire by hand and see if you can hear it.
