Ok i have been trying to figure out whats been causing this noise and was just accidentally came across this vid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_-R77S7mlE

also found this pretty similiar too

Now this is not my car however this is exactly the sound i hear coming from my rear passenger side. I'm not sure if whats happening in the video is whats happen to my car however what i want to know if anything else what would cause this sound and how to check for it.

I have read of 2 other potential culprits and that is something to do with bent rotor shield and the other has to do with e-brake. I don't think its e-brake because i only hear it from my passenger side window and never from the driver side. I'm assuming you would be able to hear from both windows.

Some things to note.

-Sound is heard around from around 30mph-40mph and continue to increases from their on (this is while driving in the car).
-sometimes the noise goes away while making turns (but not certain)
- i do know im in need of a diff mount soon as i saw a crack forming in middle of rubber but not going from center to outer.
-My brakes make my steering wheel wobble when i lightly press on brakes (don't know if this is related but thought i add) but not when its a firm press.(Does not happen all time, like once per trip).

So please help I really hate this noise makes me feel real cheap that i cant fix it. And if you want to add anything else to what I said please feel free to comment.

Thank you

Dirty

In those videos the culprit looks like bad bearings.

Jack up the rear of your car and put your hands at the 9 and 3 oclock positions on the tire. Push away from you with one hand while pulling towards you with the other and see if you get any play or clacking like in the video. If so, you have a bad hub.
