Sorry if this is posted in the wrong spot, but I'm getting this bearing noise. Like not a humming noise, but a clicking noise. I'm positive it's coming from the right side of the car, and it's a continue clicking. It's not an engine tick because it gets louder with speed, not with RPM's, I think it's my right rear. My brake pads have a lot of low and my rotors aren't warped. So I'm not sure, I think it's a wheel bearing, but usually wheel bearings hum and not click, so if any of you guys would be generous enough to chime in on this.
I'm not sure how to post a video yet, so here's a link of the sound I'm getting that I posted to YouTube.

Check for bent brake backing plate.(AKA dust shield)

Check your caliper guide pins and bushings, especially if they are solid. I recently had a very similar issue after one was seized on a slightly deformed pin and the pad was dragging.
Also, if a pad is dragging like this you'll be able to tell by touching the rotors after driving for a bit. One will be much hotter than the others. There will likely be more brake dust as well.
Also check for any clearance issues, like brake hoses, sensor wires, fender liners, and rotor dust shields. If a pad isn't dragging and it's not just pad rattle, then something is likely getting hit as one of your wheels spins.
