Default Dragging noise, passenger ?

Whenever i’m coasting or driving around the 20 mph mark there’s a dragging noise coming from the outside of the vehicle. Not extremely loud but definitely noticeable, when I speed up I don’t hear it. Was wondering if anyone can let me know what this might be?

have you checked to see if the E-Brake is hanging up or dragging / stuck.

WTF is a "DRAGGING noise"? Could it be a SCRAPING or a GRINDING noise?
Btw, check your rear bumper for a "dragging noise".

Something else to check is a caliper brakes dragging, meaning the brake pads in a caliper are touching the rotor lightly from not retracting enough? Have some else drive so you can focus on tracing the noise location

A dragging noise is often heard on the H2 :

1. after running over someone or someone’s pet.
2. An H2 gremlin hanging off the undercarriage
3. dragging muffler on the ground.
4. passenger that did not complete the entry prior to vehicle driving off.
5. high quality, Made in America parts falling off the vehicle.

Check. Any of those sound familiar?

Default Update! Still need help

You guys crack me up 😂 So good news is i didn’t find anyone dragging under my vehicle, on a serious not it’s more of a squeaking noise that doesn’t sound when i press the brakes just more when I start moving slowly and goes away at 60 mph which i’m guessing is just because i’m going that fast. It’s coming from the passenger side and I got a video of the noise when im just driving around 20 MPH, it has gotten worse and i’m not sure if it’s ball joints? suspension? i’m not sure at all, if any of this sounds familiar please help me out!

I hear many sounds on your audio. Does the "squeaking" noise change pitch sound when turning the steering wheel back & forth?

After listening at 100% volume, I can hear a brake pad wear indicator noise. Inspect your brake pads!

Yes! Brake wear indicators can do some funky things. That’s what I would check first. Could also be a bent dust shield hitting the rotor.
