Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

can you identify which side it is coming from?, as it is only when the shaft is turning, there should only be one or two possibilities, rotor touching backing plate, pads, drive shaft in housing touching wheel bearing, you may be able to hear or feel something by jacking up the car and turning one wheel at a time by hand, try this.
