More likely front if the noise changes when turning.
Have a look through this and see if it helps.

Check your lower bushes... these can also make noises in straight lines...

normally if you drive only a smooth road and swerve from left to right at around 60kph say you should be able to pin/point the noise (ie when turning left if you can hear it then its the r/h one and vise versa)
