It starts at about 30km an hr. It's a rubbing sound. It goes away once I'm up to about 70 to 80 km km an hr. It doesn't do it all the time though. I replaced brake pads calipers and rotors and it is still making noise. I thought it was a warped rotor but it wasn't. Intermittent rubbing noise like the brake pads are contacting brake rotor every revolution. Its confusing as heck. Maybe it's a wheel bearing but not sure.
Most likely a backing plate it little bent just scoffing a rotor

Did you check the rotors to see if they were cracked or 'thin' ? Rotors sometimes get really thin with use.And they can crack. Or as in one case that I know of there was sand between the rotor and the pads. The pads were also new. Removed the gravelly sand and they worked fine.

Does it have abs breaks? I have heard of problems with the older abs systems.

Is this all the time, intermittent, or just on tight right-hand corners? Jack the tire off the ground and spin the tire. If it's noisy, check for a stone wedged in near the pad. Spread or remove the pads. If it's now quiet, the pads are somehow involved. If the noise remains, it's the bearings, assuming the dust shield isn't dragging. Do the rotors look smooth? Any rough carving is an indicator of noise. Check for marks where the fattest part of the tire could touch the fender or suspension linkage. Wrong wheels can drag on the caliper. Just my rambling thoughts of things I'd look for. Best wishes.

probably a dumb question, but if there is a backing plate, did you make sure it isnt bent and hitting the rotor? you never want to sand new rotors, although i dont think it would cause this concern. i would suggest lightly scuffing up the brake pads. this will eliminate any noise caused by the contact of the rotors and pads. if it goes away then you know its a problem with the pads/rotors.
scoring of only the inside rotors would make me think that possibly the caliper slides are frozen up. make sure they move quite freely on the slides. it is not uncommon for brake pads to score rotors though.
but brake noises at low speeds that dont' change when applying light brake pressure are usually some sort of metal or something contacting the rotor.

One of your CV joints are bad, inspect which CV joint needs to be replaced. Roll your windows down and make tight right and left corners in an empty parking lot slowly and listen for the clicking noise. If it's coming from the passenger side window or the drivers side window, which ever side the noise is coming from is the side that the CV joint has failed and will need to be replaced.
Thank you for using FIxya and replacing the front wheel bearing improperly buy hammering the CV joint out instead of using a wheel bearing puller will cause damage to the CV joint as to what you have described. Good luck and keep us posted.
