    Hope this is alright to post,

    Noticed a noise coming from rear passenger side of the car (Golf Mk4) this evening coming home from work just want to get a second opinion before I take it to a garage.

    By sounds of it its from the rear passenger side wheel as you only hear it when the cars moving. Now you cant hear it when the car is going relatively slow, like when your setting off. And same when your going at a higher speed like on a duel carriageway.

    Its when im doing around 40-60kmph that you hear it. Its almost like a very dull sounding click but you can hear it when you gradually slow down.

    My only thought would be a stone maybe stuck on the break pad but im just guessing here so any info would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    Maybe a tack stuck in the tyre

    I would have said a wheel bearing at that speed but it doesnt really fit the noise you are hearing. bearings when they first start failing give a dull rhythmic hum at around 50-80 kph

    Cheers for input guys,

    I thought it was a nail or a tack to begin with aswell and checked the tyres but nothing...

    But it is a dull sort rhythmic sound that comes out of it yea I think I just worded it very badly! Ha the noise gets faster as I go faster then disappears after I get to 80-100kph.

    Guess a trip to mechanics then the weekend 😣

    Thanks again!
