Noise from left rear

So I've had a few noises coming from the left rear of my LR 2 for the past few months. Today I eliminated all but one. I installed new calipers, rotors, and brake pads. Everything works great. But there's a mysterious sound coming from my left rear wheel area that sounds like a frog croaking. It's only hear it on low speeds when I'm pulling out of my driveway or in a parking lot. I've adjusted the hand brake cable and didn't notice anything abnormal when spinning the wheel assembly with the tire off. Any help would be appreciated!

Try a full lock turn from standstill

Is the noise louder perhaps with wheel shudder?

If so it's the haldex, Could be worth having it cleaned with new filters and fluid put in.

The wheel bearing was replaced last fall. The sound was there before and after the bearing replacement.

That was a good idea. I did swap the left and right tires and the sound didn’t go away. Sounds like a faint thump almost. Like whatever is hitting is rubber. The hand brake cable seems to be secure.

I had this on my 2012 Evoque (same underneath as a FL2). Loud thud from the rear left.

Land Rover breakdown thought it was the CV joint but the LR dealer diagnosed it was actually the PTU/Front diff that had stripped its splines and the car was only front wheel drive

maybe worth having a good look at the PTU ? is the car definitely able to provide 4WD ?
