   Must be related to the wheels, possible issue with rear brakes (if 1.1 or 1.4 car then drum brakes will be fitted). Sometimes a brake shoe lining can break up or detach itself causing issues like this.

   is it a tapping or scraping sound? yeah that^^.
   or maybe check you rear inner arch lining, mine has rotten where the plastic clips go so its hanging on the wheel slightly (can only hear it at low speeds). which reminds me, must get the welder out soon.
