Clicking sound when the car is in motion

[vinniechase]

Dear fellow Porsche fans

Today I've noticed an clicking sound from the rear of my 997 c2s when the car is in motion. The sound doesn't seem to be related to the engine rev but rather related to the vehicle speed.
Does any of you have similar issue in the past? Or have an idea what the cause might be?

Cheers,
Vinnie

Obvious place to start - definitely not got a stone lodged in one of the tyres?

You know what, have a look at the little covers for the brake caliper bleed valves, one may have popped off and is 'flicking' on the spokes of the alloys when the wheel turns.

Certainly sounds wheel related.

In addition to the above suggestions, look also for any stones trapped between the disc and caliper.

or a nail in the tyre?
