    Strange 'Tik Tik Tik' noise coming from the rear wheel

    Hello,
    For the past month, I’ve been hearing a strange noise coming from the area near the rear wheel on the driver’s side.

    It sounds like a rattling noise, almost like tire friction, but it’s not.
    It’s a sound that resembles rubber but also metal bending, and I haven’t been able to identify the cause of the noise.

    The noise occurs exactly once every time the tire completes a full rotation.
    The wheel bolts are properly tightened to the correct torque.

    If anyone has heard a similar noise or has experience resolving this issue, I’d appreciate your advice.​

    * Noise video url : https://youtube.com/shorts/RZKCy7Afe...5TS5TbNufSGfgX
    * In the video, the noise repeats exactly 4 times.
    * Twice when pushing forward, twice when pushing backward. Such as 'Tik Tik Tik Tik > Very Quickly'​


    * Add : After lifting the car on the lift and spinning the wheels in an unloaded state, there is no noise.

    * Add : I suspected the CV joints and wheel bearings, but yesterday they suddenly started making noises alternately on both the left and right sides.
    Is it possible for the CV joints or wheel bearings to fail on both the left and right sides at the same time??

    Did you jack it up and rotate the wheel to find the cause?

      Yes. After lifting the car on the lift and spinning the wheels in an unloaded state, there is no noise....

        Sound like a pad dragging, but there is a fair amount of background noise.

          There seems to be a misunderstanding.
          In the video, the noise repeats exactly 4 times.
          Twice when pushing forward, twice when pushing backward, and maybe it is different from the pad dragging sound.

          Such as 'Tik Tik Tik Tik'. Very very quickly.

            Could it be slackness in the handbrake adjustment?

              Running rear spacers with extended bolts? Bolts that are too long will kiss the parking brake mech and make noise.

                My car's parking brake adjustment has been completed, and it has been set so that the car stays stationary when pulled up 4 to 6 notches on flat ground.

                No, I am not using spacers.

                  Wheel weights (or something stuck inside the wheel) hitting anything?

                      But this should be the same noise when wheels are jacked off gnd, and OP said none.

                        .
                        Only on the polished floor or same when on the road, and the noise deminished at higher speed?
                        It sounds like a wooden boat creaking on the waves.

                        No Diff serviced recently?

                          Try to locate exactly where is the wheel postion when the noise starts to click, then get under the car to locate the noise with a helper pushing the car (or build a pulley and rope system tied up to the palm tree and you can pull the rope to move the car while being down there if you're the only human on the island).

                            Recent ticking for me was either a rear wheel bearing (looked like it when it came out) or a half shaft outer CV joint. I replaced both at once so I’m not sure which. I chased the ticking sound for months, but mine was mostly repeatable on right hand corners, only occasionally occurred when pointed straight.

                              Had something similar to this as well a few years ago, ended up being a slightly binding CV joint.
