Wink Ringing Sound

Hi Guys,

I recently noticed this "ringing" sound from my front right wheel (drivers side (LHD)). It has slowly got more noticeable recently, hence the post. It usually rings when I accelerate only for a few seconds and it stops. But when I release the gas, it won't ring but as soon as I step on it again it will ring for the couple of seconds and stop as the rpm's climb.

Any idea what it could be? I'm thinking brakes/wheel bearing related.

Peace.

I checked it, and it's as tight as can be.. I try to rev the engine whilst stationary but cannot replicate the noise I hear whilst rolling.. It usually is audible from 2500-3500rpm....

Anyone else have any suggestion?

Check your brake pads, could be the wear indicator.

I don't know of too many people that apply the break while accelerating, as indicated in the original post...
