I have 2019 GT with just around 17.000 miles and I noticed a faint metallic noise coming from rear driver side at a lower speed. See video below



At first, I thought it was the brake shield rubbing against or a stuck rock but it was evenly spaced out. I checked the caliper and I don't see any rubbing. It's hard to tell, but it maybe coming from the axle as it appears to rub/catch at one point as the wheel spins.

I don't have any vibration nor does it make it worse in a turn. There's no wiggle when I took the wheel off to see if it's the wheel bearing. It's mainly straight driving that I can hear it.

Any thoughts?

In your second video, what are the two polished lines on the center barrel of the rim? I'd be looking for a loose or broken brake pad clip. It has a thin metal sound to it.

I'd also mark the wheel bearing nut to just rule it out as the culprit.

This is regular pad rub IMO. Another thing to check is the sheet metal dust shield behind the rotor being bent and rubbing against it (or something stuck between it and the rotor).

Agree, looks like regular pab rub on the hat. I checked the shiled and it's not close to rubbing.

Brake noise all day long! Sounds hardware or even a dust shield.
