Same thing with my 05 cobalt sedan mechanic jacked car up to removed tire from passenger side or one and my tire fell lop sided! He did not even touch anything so he removed tire and "knuckle" was snapped clear thru!! He explained knuckle is part that connects strut and wheel hub together I believe he tried explaining it to me so part alone is $300 he told me yikes but my car had every one of the problems exactly to a tee it's been making weird noise for awhile but grinding,rubbing,squealing real loud in reverse onlystarted a five days before checked I hit pothole but do not think that was when it started plus I drove it after that just didn't use reverse had no idea it was that serious of a pro lemme cuz didn't affect car except in reverse it's been a weird noise low since 3 wks after I got it dealer kept telling me itso the way brakes sound ok!! Have someone remove tire and check that it sounds just like it may be

If the issue goes away when the car is hot, then it's likely not a sensor issue. Check the brake caliper for free moving and check the caliper's pistons to make sure they aren't seized.
Check the condition of the brake disk and pads.

Could be a front tire rubbing up against part(s) of the wheel well. Are you using the correct size tire up front?

could be a deformed tyre ,really need to drive it to see whats causing it

If you isolated the noise, where is it coming from? Is the heat shield rubbing on the rotor?

you did damage to the wheel bearing i bet it sounds like a airplane sound. also if you steering wheel is off 7"then have front end aligned because this will destroy the tires and they will make noise.

The bulb actually has two seperate elements in it.
That is why the tail light works fine.

If you take the bulb out you will see the seperate elements.
Change the bulb and it should be fine.

Repeat the experiment and rotate wheels at same time. Might be just coincidence and it is actually a belt. My guess would be power steering.
