marble noise when applying brakes
I have this marble noise when applying brakes that comes from the rear i think its around wheel area. i don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that I pressed the bearings on the axles with the plates on the wrong side. this made it so I had to bolt the calipers on the front side.

This sounds like the parking brake shoes... to me at least. Marbles is what is sounded like to me until I adjusted them properly.
Pop the wheels off, remove the brake pads, caliper and caliper mount... take off the Rotor and see if the parking brake brake shoe is loose. you will have to adjust the star adjuster at the bottom to the point that it will hold the brake shoe up when it's disengaged (to keep it from rattling around in the rotor hat, which is probably what you are hearing) and keep it firm enough to hold the rear wheels from turning when it is engaged.
Lemme know....

I also hear a sharper more metallic rattling noise sometimes when I'm cruising.
