This problem is aggravating lol me and jimmy can't seem to figure it out. Hopefully this post brings in new ideas.

When braking there is a droning type noise coming from the front end brakes are new, it's very intermittent so say 1/10 slow downs it makes the noise and it can get loud. Only happens when braking or brakes applied, seems to get louder if steering wheel is turned slightly.

Does it sound like a ticking? Like a baseball card on a bicycle hitting the wheel spokes? Are your rotors blanks or cross drilled/slotted?

OE rotors. Cheap semi metallic pads, sounds like metal to metal almost like drilling into metal with a dull bit lol

To me it sounds like you have a wheel bearing noise.

Does it get louder with increased speed?

Do you notice to noise turning at speed (weight of the car shifted to one side)?

He said only when breaks are being applied




What rotorspads did you replace them with?
I had the exact same problem until I switched to Mazda pads and rotors

Wheel bearings are fine no play, sound does not decrease with load or without. For now new pads seem to have calmed the problem it's has been raining so I wonder if that's helping
