Water on my rotor?

Water on my rotor?
So Ive been having an issue with my front left wheel area. When the car is in motion im hearing a "tsk" type of sound every time the wheel rotates. I took it to Les Schwab to take a look and they said it could be because of a car wash I had before the noise started and said it might be that they got water on my rotor. Is this possible? if so why hasnt the sound gone away yet? Ive driven all the way from Vancouver to Seattle and when I got back the noise is still somewhat there..

Water on your rotor? That makes no sense.

something might be rubbing.
One time, in an older car, I had a ticking noise that increased with speed.
it turned out to be a wheel weight hitting something stationary, like a shock or a control arm.
I can assure you that its not water on the rotor.
if water were to be on the rotor, it would cause it to rust.
and as soon as you step on the brake, the pad would wipe the rotor clean free of rust.

I took it to a few places in my area and I kinda of got the whole "water on my rotor" theory explained to me. One guy told me that the water could of settled on the rotor on the bottom edge of wear the brake pad doesn't touch, which cause a small part to flake up (rusted part) and that's what was hitting the brake pad every time it rotated. Make sense cause I think he kinda took of the flaked part with his finger and the noise is gone
