Okay when i drive next to parked cars or close to guardrails or even in open road, i hear this "swooshing/rattling sound" I dont know how exactly to describe the noise but again just say "shhh" like five times, thats the best way to describe the sound. On top of that, it rattles when i drive on rough roads as if something is loose. My local shops tell me the same thing, its my rotors and brake pads. I am convince its not because i have changed them more than 4 times in the past year. I made sure they were properly put on and nothing was loose. I gave up on it for a while, but now the sound is getting worse. My last option is here, can anyone point out on what i should do next? I forgot to mention that the sound is only on my front left side.

Do you have the shims installed? Try using some brake quiet grease.

i did use the brake quiet grease. it didnt work for me. i took it to another shop recently, and he said something was hitting or touching something to make the noise. i have no clue what the heck he was talking about because there are a lot of something that can cause this. maybe my calipers going bad?

Try installing the shims. Worked for me in my G20.

where could i purchase shims, and wouldnt it be wierd for me to just have the problem on the front left side

You can get the shims from any dealer, and most auto parts stores should carry them.
