Loud Noise - Need Help

This noise has happened 3 times so far. What happens is when I accelerate hard with car pinned, chirping in 1st and 2nd. In the middle of 3rd gear this loud metal on metal noise comming from the back right brake area. After about 2 min the noise goes away.

When the noise is happening it is at consistent intervals, meaning the problem area is rotating with the tire. Even when I start to slow the car down the sound continues. Then stops


This sound does not sound good and have no idea what it is. Brakes are fine, tire seems fine. What could be causing this loud metal on metal sound? Its almost like a screeee...screee...screeee but loud.

Any ideas?

It's a long shot, but I'll toss it out there. Wheel bearing maybe? I've never heard one describe the weird occurences you describe, but it's a remote possibility. Grab the tire at 9 and 3 o'clock and give it a shake. It goes tick tick or tock tock, the bearings shot.

That's what my right rear wheel bearing did right before it failed completely. You wanna talk about loud and frightening......

Swerve hard left and right once it does it. If it varies a lot that's probably it.
