2016 - TWO Noises :-(
So annoyed by this situation, all of my visits are at same shop.
2016 2.5i Premium - no issues at all before approx.104k miles (currently at 107k):
In June I got a flat tire; had it replaced then replaced the other tires a few months later in August...still no issues at this point w/ four new tires.
At some point after that in Aug/Sept, I started noticing a "knocking" sound under the car only when I was turning right at what I could call medium speed (when you turn after slowing down but not after a stop). I brought it in to my tire place and they said I had a bad lower control arm and I replaced both of them.
I immediately noticed that the same noise was still happening. I brought it back and left it there a whole day. The said they could not "replicate" the noise and even multiple people drove it. ALMOST EVERY TIME I TURN RIGHT YOU CAN HEAR THE NOISE. This noise for whatever reason is hard to capture on a recording but it is incredibly clear in person.
Talking to the guy at the end of the day he said it "could be" a hub bearing or CV Axle but told me it should be fine to drive right now. They even brought up "throwing money" at the car without knowing the exact problem.
Then THE NEXT DAY, my car started making a new sound (video clip). This is clearly on the left driver's side of the car. It only does this when I am stopping/slowing down off the gas and does not occur when I am accelerating or at full speed.

This happened once (my recording) and then stopped. I went on vacation and have come back and now the car is making this same sound almost every time I drive (It's like a combination of a "Swooshing" and "Scraping" sound). And it still makes the other noise when you turn right.
I am taking my car in tomorrow but just want to get thoughts on this as it makes no sense to me how this wasn't found during multiple recent service visits.
