It's finally warming up to the point where I can roll the windows down on the car. I notice that when driving, there is a clicking coming from my right rear wheel area. I've searched and found some threads about bearings and wheel hubs being the cause, but the symptoms don't quite match and the noise is different from any video I've found.

It's weird, but it literally sounds as if there is a small rock or something inside my tire, for lack of a better way to describe it. The noise is audible with my window down and super clear when I have a car next to me or I'm driving by buildings or something. The clicking increases pace (not louder, just faster) with speed. It happens constantly, not just when turning or accelerating. Any ideas?

 

This could a number of issues.

Nail in tire, wheel bearings giving out, rear axle click...

Get the car on a lift to inspect the tire and see if there is any play in the wheel and diagnose it from there

 

Thanks! I'll be sure to keep you posted.
