Okay, it almost sounds like when you put a baseball card in a tire spoke? The car is running fine. What could it be?

This is most likely a backing plate that is touch the rotor or a tire issue.

Let's start with lifting the vehicle and spin this tire to see if you can get the noise to occur and you will be able to locate it when you are laying next to it.

Then we need to check the tires using this chart below to check for tire wear. If you suspect this is the issue then move the tire to another position and see if the noise moves with it.

Please run through this material and let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
