I was checking the car again and again and couldn't find anything. Eventually the rock / debris was out and the sound stoped by itself. Reason you dont hear it at higher speeds is because of the centrifugal force causing the rock / debris to stop moving freely, or because of the louder ambient noise at these speeds making it more difficult to hear.
I agree with this.
Same issue here too. I brought it in to dealer and had them remove the rear wheel. They could not reproduce the sound, but repositioned the rotor shield. It has been almost a month and no noise to date.
