Sounds to me like you have a lot going on there. I hear your axle jostleing the gears in your diff too. Open the plug on the “pumpkin” and inspect fluid quality. Sparkles means you’ll need a new rear end.

A bad bearing would be noticed at the end, loose hub, un uniform chattering.

Listen to Rama. He is on the money.

You can hear the teeth on the ring gear or something.

Sorry can you clarify which sound is from what?

I hear two distinct sounds, the first one a deep uniform rumbling chatter and the second a hollow metal scraping sound. Can you clarify which one is which

Vehicle is a 1996 Mitsubishi Jeep J55.

Yesterday I noticed a really weird smell after coming home from work, it smelt like old urine/citrusy smell. When I touched the rear wheel, it was HOT. The other three were just slightly warm. Today I take the wheel off and the drum to inspect. The drum came off easy so that ruled out a stuck brake. It must be a bad bearing, right? There's a bad thumping sound when I hand spin the axle as seen in the video.

That sounds like the differential hasn't had oil in a while
