Has anyone else had bad luck getting rocks stuck in their rotors? It happened to me twice. I was able to push the guard behind the rotor and I heard the rock fall, but the second time I feel like a small piece is stuck somewhere because I can hear a little scratch/whistle noise. It’s strange because I only seem to hear it when I let off the gas and I’m coming to a stop. If anyone has any suggestions please share. Thanks.

It's probably the electronic wastegate and not a rock.

If it makes the noise even when you're not pushing on the brake pedal it's probably that. If so as soon as you go on throttle it should go away.

That might be it and maybe I’m just noticing after the rock incident. Is that a pretty constant mild sound/whistle noise when you let off the gas? I mainly hearing it when I’m decelerating from 3rd and 4th gear. I thought it was something mildly rubbing coming from the front left tire.

I had it in my Porsche Macan. I parked the car, turned the wheel left and right couple times, and then it went away. I presume the rock was loosened.
