Chattering coming from the rear passenger wheel

My wife has an 06 tsx and we’ve had it for a while now. We bought it with 60k on it and now has 141k. We did the brakes at 100k with new pads and rotors on all 4 corners. Rotors are drilled and slotted.

I noticed recently that the rear passenger wheel has developed a chattering sound that’s relative to the speed. Sound is only there when the rear is loaded. The sound goes away when it sits for a while and no load. Also sound isn’t there when I drive it alone or only 2 people in the car.

Could it be the negative camber from the additional weight be causing the chatting sound? I’m thinking the brake pads are at the wearing point where the metal tip is hitting the cross slots but this is usually a loud screeching noise and not a tick.

Could it also be a wheel bearing?

Inspect wheel bearing for roughness turning and looseness. Also inspect brakes for interference from brake dust cover.

good luck

Could be the bearing as mentioned. This TSB may explain how to repair (if you can find a copy online).
