Default ** Sound from brake/wheel

I posted this before a few months ago, so I guess this is part II.

There is a metallic sound coming from the wheel when it starts to roll. I can hear it as I'm in low rolling speed. It doesn't matter if I applied the brakes or not.

I figure it must be a brake indicator or something. Took it to a honest shop. He said there is nothing wrong, and they still got lots of life left. He doesn't know why it makes the noise. He said maybe it was brake dust, and said he clean it. The sound went away

The funny thing is, got my wheels rotated, and it started to make the noise again. First very soft, and now a bit more noticable. It sounds like something is rubbing or grinding.

What do you think? Any ideas?

Thanks

Checl the shields on the back of the discs...if one of the wheels had touched the shield and bent it down/in it could be rubbing onthe rotor and making the noise. Try turning them to determine what wheel it's coming from and see if the shield is rubbing.
