Just noticed this today-
When driving in my parking garage, I can hear a slight metal on metal noise. An extreme example would be sharpening a knife on a sharpener, its not as loud or predominate.
-I've checked the lugs, they are secure.
Car has springs and spacers.

I had been planning to change my front brake pads to the non f-sport version to reduce brake dust, so I did this before taking it to the dealership. It ended up being the front brake pads and I don't hear anything now. When I removed my original pads, I could see where one of the metal retaining clips was coming into contact with the front rotor.

I recently had the same problem. Initially, the noise would be triggered when applying the brakes, but it later became noticeable even when not on the brakes. It was most obvious when driving in a semi-indoor parking garage where you can really hear the echo from the car.

You mentioned you changed the fronts, did it initially sound like it was coming from the rear as well?

It seemed like the noise was predominantly in the front, but it's tricky when you're hearing it in a parking garage with an echo. Do you have a sound clip or a video?
