Wheel bearing us usually a deeper growning noise. Maybe fender lining hanging down?

I just had that problem yesterday after lowering my car. Its was the brake guards the thin metal dish by yur rotors. They were rubbing the rotor. You just have to push them away from the rotors. I didnt fix it but the mechanic hoisted my car up and pushed em with his thumbs.

I hope that helps, post if it does.

hes talking about the cooler behind the rotor. looks like a thin metal plate kind of like a pac-man shape.

If it's the bearing, look under the car to see if there is a "spray" of grease behind where the bearing is located. This was the first sign that I knew my bearing was shot.
