Default rear passenger side road noise

i keep hearing noises from my rear passenger side, i checked to see if it's the bearing and there was no play in the wheel when i tried to see if it wobbles when i had it up on jack stands from what my search told me to do. Can springs or worn brake pads causes more noise?

YA, realllly needing more info.

Bumps?
Forward + Reverse?
At a near stop?
Increases with speed?

Heavy or light throttle?
During Braking?

ill try and answer to the best of my ability.

the noise is constant , only time i hear it is when im on the throttle with normal speed, no hard driving. I wouldn't say it increases with speed cause the noise seems to be constant, it doesn't get louder as i got faster.

Oh i forgot to add that a couple of weeks ago, my coilovers were swapped out for stock i haven't get an alignment yet would this also be the cause of the noise?

mine too.
rear passenger side.
I swap the AP1 rims replace the AP2 tims, didnt help.
I changed my rotors and brake pads, didnt help.

it got some high pitch sound when the road is uneven/bumps.

mine is OEM shock with Tein springs.

high pitch? around 45mph? diff? lol
bearings also grind/ make whining noises from what i heard....... it all depends on how the bearing is damage but from what i was reading when i searched, obvious sign is wobbling which my car does none.....


also does anybody know how to tell if an axle is damage?

high pitch sound only at low speed like 5-15mph when the road is bumpy.
no sound if the road is flat.

at high speed i cant hear anything, may be exhaust sound covered it.

but i know my rear passenger side shake between75-85mph, i think this is 2 different problem tho.

you can hear noise especially when you turn one side, depends which bearing goes bad.
