Tap Tap noise whilst going along similar to stone in Tyre

Hi guys.

For some weeks now when driving along im getting a tap tap noise like when you have a stone in the tyre. ITs seems to be coming from the passenger side rear wheel. Ive checked the tyres numerous times and am sure its not from there, anyone any ideas what/whereelse the noise could be coming from ?

thanks for any replies.

What mileage have you done?
This could be the caliper catching the disc. have you checked to see if there is a stone stuck on the pad? The disc may be warped. Also does the sound stop when you apply the hand brake? Do this when moving. If it is still there then its the caliper - disc.

the sound does not seem to stop when applying the handbrake..
the car has done 55k its a 53 plate. the car had new rear disks and pads and new front pads about 4 months ago. So im assuming this may be something to do with this.
