Can’t get to the bottom of issue

I posted a while ago about a noise coming from my 2010 Leon it’s still under 6 month warranty from a used car dealership (only bought in March) but they say they can’t find the problem and tell me I’m just not used to the new car sounds :-/ after getting a separate brake noise they eventually fitted new discs and pads although this didn’t help the other issue, I’ve since had it to 2 different mechanics who can’t put their finger on the fault I’ve spent £400 in a week on 4 new tyres which were illegal so how it passed an mot when I bought it I dunno, still noise, then 2 new wheel bearings again no change, I took it back today and they think it might be rust grinding on the new disc as there was a deep gouge in the rim but I drove away still hearing it, they said if it continues they will strip and grind the rust down but I still don’t think that will work.

I can only describe the noise as a revolving/turning sound and can be heard more so at low speed from the front underneath of the car and not sure if it’s linked but there’s a louder noise when I take my foot off the accelerator like someone is blowing through a pipe, I just don’t know what to do can anyone help?

Have you checked the dust shields/cowlings are not rubbing on the back of the disc? Put your wheels on full lock and see if you can slide something thin in-between the disc and cowling as I've had this before and it's annoying but easy to bend away.
