eGolf scraping sound when driving in neutral/coasting or regen braking

[Rambo]

Hello,

2018 eGolf with 90k miles here.
I have 2 separate issues which might be connected:

1) there is a scraping sound from wheels when regenerative braking is engaged, that is probably due to engine bearings (there are kits to fix that), but...

2) this started recently, similar but less aggressive scraping sound occurs even when coasting/driving with no regen braking.

I even tried putting it in neutral - still occurs, but as soon as I start accelerating - the noise is completely gone.

Opinions?
Thanks

No engine so I’m guessing you ate suggesting motor bearings. I hope not - sounds expensive Wheel bearings are more likely and cheaper to replace. A leaf stuck in wheel?

Motor, yeah.
Anyways, I took all 4 wheels off, checked if brake rotor shield is maybe scraping - sadly it isnt and nothing is stuck

All 4 rotors are brand new, so the verdict will probably be motor bearings. There is a kit to fix that, around 2k + work. I was hoping it wont come to that.

Sound from wheels suggests wheel bearings, right?
