    Weird noise coming from rear passenger wheel.

    I started noticing a sound coming from the rear passenger wheel. At first I thought it was a rock that was stuck in the tread - but nothing there.

    The sounds definitely occurs at equal rotations. What could it be?

    Any help will be appreciated?

    Could be bad wheel bearing??

    What does it sound like? A rhythmic vibration or humming noise? Does it get louder with speed? Can you go to a parking lot and do circles (not donuts) and tell which way makes more noise? Right turns = left side wheel bearing, Left turns = right side wheel bearing.

    no humming or vibrations- it sounds like a click click click.

    If it is not a constant sound coming from that part of the car. I recently experienced a similar problem and later learned that all I needed to do was to adjust the parking brake.

    Sorry to bring up a very very old thread, but I also have a click click click click coming from the same rear wheel.... I am not sure how to "adjust" the parking brake, if that is what the sound is. It's not a humming or rhythmic vibration of any sort, but a click that is rhythmic like a metronome, and it speeds up as the car speeds up.

    Any input or help would be appreciated.
