Jack up the front of the car and try to move the wheels if either one moves from side to side it's a wheel bearing or it could be your gear box bearing to test this clutch in, let the car free wheel if noise persists it's the wheel bearings, if noise stops it's the gearbox bearing.Jack up the front of the car and try to move the wheels if either one moves from side to side it's a wheel bearing or it could be your gear box bearing to test this clutch in, let the car free wheel if noise persists it's the wheel bearings, if noise stops it's the gearbox bearing.

i have been fooled by this one way to many times. when a wheel bearing or hub assesembly is making noise, it will sound like it is comming from the other side. i do not know why this is. but one test will prove if and which one. when growling noise occurs, notice, when turning left or right, does noise get louder and quieter as you turn? if so then it is wheel bearing. when turning left the right side will make more noise. when turning right the left side will make more noise. if always the same then, tires or transmission need addressing. the cv axle does not make a growling noise, unless front wheel drive car does not move, it makes a clicking or poping noise. sorry but at least you dont have to replace other axle
lift the car on lift end push/pull the wheel vertical. if find excessive play is your wheel bearing. run you hand on the tire back and for if you tire have bumps (every other thread) rotate tire across like X back to for.If the noise move to the front is the tire. Inspect you struts and suspention.
Not sure if this is the problem but I had a tire that made a noise at certain speeds The tire had worn spots like bumps on certain areas . I replaced the tires and the noise stopped.
Since this is a 2006 Chevrolet, it is probably your brakes making this sound. You will also want to check your splash shields underneath the vehicle to make sure they are not loose and rubbing. Where would you say the growling sound is coming from? Is it coming from the Engine compartment, wheel well, etc?
