Left rear wheel clicking. Anyone else?

I initially thought this was a valve stem issue but I have winter wheels on now and it still does it. I can hear it when I have the windows down and am coming up to a stop. It clicks once for every revolution of the wheel—and it seems unlike the axle click TSB, I've had that and am familiar with it already. It obviously not a stone in my tread because, again, I have new tires and wheels on and I dont hear it at speed. It doesnt seem to be acceleration/torque dependent like that axle click TSB.

So what do you guys think? It seems to me like a wheel bearing would be less clicky and more irregular. It is something brake-wise? I have no clue—never had something like this.

Thanks crew.

Wheel bearings tend to "growl" or squeal......its probably brake related.
Could be your ebrake assembly......or maybe even the brake caliper itself.

I had something exactly like this; turned out it was one of the exhaust brackets was missing. Dealer found it after I pointed out the noise and fixed it for free.

Yes, I heard it on bumps mostly and at slow speeds when driving near walls and other sound-reflective surfaces.

is your car lowered? do you have camber arms installed? I think its the toe bolts on my car because I lowered it and its just a disadvantage of having a lowered vehicle... I may be wrong though. Just my two cents

As the OP stated..."It clicks once for every revolution of the wheel—and it seems unlike the axle click TSB"...
I'd say brake related.
Know a G friend who had this and it was his rear brake pad clip had come loose and pad was clicking in relation to wheel rotation at most speeds.
Secured pad in caliper...no more click noise.

^Yours sounds like the famous axle click.
Take to Dealer for warranty fix. They should know about this TSB.
TSB = Technical Service Bulletin.

I'm guessing my problem is brake related. Jalilig35, yours is def the TSB. Thanks for the help guys. Oh and I did notice my muffler tips are out of whack...so maybe I am missing or have a displaced hanger or something out of the ordinary. It wasnt like that before I had my transmission replaced!
