Icon6 Need some suggestions, knocking noise + humming sound

1995 Civic Ex

For about 2 months now this problem has been going on where when braking especially under heavy braking a loud knocking noise can be heard & it's definantly a metal on metal sound. I also recently noticed that under sharp turns (mostly noticeable when turning left) a loud humming sound-almost like when you blow into an empty bottle-will occur and get louder as I turn sharper, both noises seem to come from the front passenger side. I've looked at the car so many times and can't figure it out, because the knocking noise usually occurs under braking I tried resurfacing the rotors (there was in fact a warped rotor, but on the left side) and putting new brake pads on but the noise still continues-it's been about 600 miles since the replacement. Also on the right side I noticed the CV Axle was damaged so I installed a new one too but nothing has changed, still have those annoying noises. I really can't find anything else that might be the potential problem, need some tips & ideas for this.

The humming sounds like a bad wheel bearing. Jack the front of the car up and check for play.

check your axles cv joints, jack up the car and whiggle the wheel with hands top to bottom and also side to side, everything shoud be solid

The wheel bearings seem fine, I finally got around to checking them today and both the wheels are pretty solid.
I know the cv joints are fine, the left looks good and I just installed a new axle on the right side. I dunno what else

Make sure your tires aren't rubbing the fender lining or the fender. Also check that all the bolts on your suspension are tight on both sides.
