Help, strange/worrysome noise

Post by Fialchar »

It sounds like it's coming from the front/right wheel area, and it's the most constant at 35-ish m.p.h.It started today, and it sounded like leaves rustling, then at around 3 this moning it got loud and sounded like a soda can being dragged along the ground, then it just kind of disappeared. I just had my brakes replaced a month or so ago so I don't think that would be it, but I don't know. Any help/input/suggestions/comments/snide remarks?

I've had problems where a stone or pebble was stuck between the rotor and pad. It did make noises similar to your description and would be speed dependent. I found this thread that seems to be relavent.Hope this helps.

Well, since that night when it just kind of.. disappeared, it hasn't returned. I'm guessing it was a pebble like suggested, or something like that.
