Not sure what the brake setup looks like on your car, or where youre located, but Ive had the sheet metal backer on my rear discs rust out before. It ends up dragging on the rotor ever so lightly and makes a slight wooshing sound. Actually, I could only hear mine with the windows down and when turning to the left (it was the right rear wheel). If you live anywhere with winter and salt, this could be your issue.

I had just installed new axle bearings and seals on my hawk last weekend, and I had to re bend my dust shield on the passenger wheel, which is behind the rotor because I bent it and had a loud wooshing sound when I test drove it. The metal plate was rubbing the inside of the rotor.
