More of a growl, wheel bearing. More of a scrape, check the dust shield behind the rotor, especially if the front brakes were recently replaced.

Not necessarily, mine had no growl but was scraping and it was a wb.

If you jack up the side making noise, leave the tire on and see if there is any play with your hands at 12 & 6. Also try at 3 & 9. If the wheel bearing is out you should feel some movement. Any movement is bad.

If you have 12 & 6 suspension movement by hand that's bad also.. I know I can't compress my springs by hand..

370z problems

We just pulled apart both rear sides. No play from the wheel bearings. No pebbles. Pushed the backing plates a little bit further away. Adjusted the parking break. Sound wasn't there when there was no load on the car.

Keep forgetting to take a video for a sound clip. :/

Maybe try putting the rear end on jack stands, putting the transmission in neutral, turning both wheels in the same direction to see if maybe something is rubbing on the drive shaft

Personally I would also do the same inspection on the front that you just did on the rear. Sometimes noises travel it sounds like the back but it could be the front

How much rear brake pad was left on each side? Is there a possibility the squeal tabs could be hitting the rotor?

Nope they are pretty much brand new still. I've only driven the car 6,000 miles and most braking is done by down shift.

Try to make a video so we have a better idea of what your hearing

No possible way to make the video now. My husband took it with him to work today and brought it back with no more noise. Something to do with the amount of camber I had some how making my stretched tires squeak. They aren't that stretched but what ever at least the sound is gone!
