    weird intermittent sound when bike moves at 0-5 km/h

    Greetings everyone..

    so lately my bike has been making weird noises, and these are audible only when I move the bike as slow speed.
    They are vibration-like sounds, that make a soft metallic 'hum'... and its frequency is proportional with the speed I move my bike, so that got me thinking it might be related to the wheel.. specifically the rear wheel. After some trials, I discovered that if I slightly press the rear brake (not enough to stop the bike movement) the sounds disappear.
    So my idea is that the brake calipers are either wrongly set or the disc brake is not completely flat...
    Any suggestion/idea? My bike still has the warranty, so I think I'll bring the bike in for a check, but I  thought I'd write it here to see any comments first.

    Cheers :)

    Difficult to say without hearing it, but I think i'd take the pads out, and give everything a good clean.

    A small dab of copper grease, on the back of the pads, might help.
