Check the dust shields and see if they are touching the rotor or something.

Not wheel bearings right?

Jack the car and rock the wheels to see if its the wheel bearing. I also agree with dust shields either way you need to jack the wheel up and check. One last though is has the plastic shields inside the wheel well come lose.

I have a similar problem and in my case, I believe it to be both a loose brake calliper and also the dust shield touching the brake assembly. You could check the calliper for rattles.

I also have this issue. Im going to assume its the shield cause its an easy fix.

Bend them back away from the rotor. They're pretty soft, so they bend kinda easily. Be careful not to damage anything by prying at stuff. You probably can do it by hand, but if you have to use something to pry them away, don't overdo it.

If it isn't the dust shields it might also be the parking brake shoes not fully disengaging and dragging a bit.

my parking brake (handbreak) doesnt even work... so it might be that, because the sound is coming from the back wheels. but ill try to bend the plates back this week see if the sound countinues..
