Noise/vibration help me

Guys I’ve got a question- might sound thick but I’m going for it

If there was a fault or issue with my suspension would it cause a vibration/tapping/knocking noise from about 25mph and over- on a smooth road with no bumps? I’ve got a noise that’s just started, it’s quite loud and starts from a very low speed even coasting so I know it’s def not the gearbox!
Almost thought the tryes were flat so I pulled over to take a look and fine- even thought shit the wheel or something is loose that kind of nose or feeling?
New ish kw suspension fitted by @CRS Performance
I don’t think suspension would do this if it wasn’t being worked as such but I’m clueless.

Anyone have any advice or thoughts maybe a bearing or something of that nature

Cheers
 
Firstly check the wheel bolts are tight. It’s unlikely but worth making sure . It could be road debris lodged in a caliper ,,
does the noise change when turning the steering side to side As you drive . Check the tyres don’t have anything stuck in them nails screws etc .
 
It doesn’t change at all when moving the steering wheel, I even coasted along a very smooth road and it’s constantly there and it pretty loud, I think it sounds like it’s coming from the rear if I’m honest as you can’t feel it through the dashboard or the steering wheel

If its the rear , is it like a squeak noise that is related to the up and down movement of the suspension.. this can be the rear spring mounts , they wear out very often , clear to see if you remove them they have holes in the rubber
 
Have the brake pads left deposits on the disks ?
Try some heavy braking several times.

Hopefully it’s repairable. That looks like a very recent tyre.
