Weird Metallic Sound

Hey Peeps ,
there is a weird metallic noise coming from my front driver side wheel. I can only hear it when I am going slow with the windows down . Sounds like I ran over a tin can and its stuck to my tire .. Nothing leaking stuck or broke .. I will upload a video tonight of the sound . Any suggestions ??

Best bet is to take off the wheel and see if you can duplicate the noise and see if somethings touching each other ex suspension parts, dust sheild on brakes. Things get loose from vibration esp if u have lowered ur car and audio systems.

Had the same noise - was just the dust sheild rattling against the rotor. Find out what side it is on and bend it back a little. It happened to me after a track session - think it was from the heat and caused it to warp a little bit. Bent it back with my hand and haven't heard it since.

I think I figured it out .. I believe it's my TPMS sensor bouncing around . I have them banded in and think it fell out .. Will post video ..
