Weird noise from car.

Weird noise from car.
I have a 2002 Jaguar x-type 3.0 with 121,500 miles. I had all the brake pads and rotors replaced in November and a rear bearing replaced last January. I am hearing a long drawn out higher pitched moan from the car only while first moving it (under 4 mph). This summer I would hear the noise right after washing it, so if figured soap or dirt was moved around causing the sound. I hear it occasionally, never at regular speeds just when I first move it, on it's only an occasional noise (maybe once a week or less). I may be in reverse or drive (never has mattered) and only at low speeds under 4mph (driveway speeds). Once again it's a higher pitched moan noise that lasts like 2-3 seconds. I know what a bearing sounds like when it goes bad, could this be an axle issue, or does this sound like nothing alarming. I am sure it's just dirt under the brake pads, but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks!!

Thanks Mark, that's what I thought. My car sits outside so water, and snow gets on the rotors. I live in Ohio so the moisture content in the air is brutal, and I did see some rust forming on the rotors, but the noise stops. Its a somewhat sporatic sound. I never know when I will hear it, I just wanted to gague some opinions to make sure no one else had a major issue pop up after hearing a similar sound. Thanks!

I was reversing out of my driveway when I heard the same thing, almost felt like my pads were shot. When I swapped to the winter wheels I checked and all my pads are fine so I figure I'm hearing the rust come off the rotors, up here, and I'm on the coast, it takes a day to rust my rotors so....

Thanks sidewalkman- Since Ohio has days with over 80% humidity and we have about 6 inches of snow on the ground, the roads are really salty. It literally takes a few hours before a little bit of rust starts to form on the rotors. I am glad to know I am not the only one hearing this. back in the fall, I figured since I needed new brake pads and rotors that the noise was related to bad brake pads, but its just the ohio climate. Thanks! Have a merry Christmas!
