Perplexing problem

Here's one that should give you all as much fun and joy as it has given me....not. Ok here's the car, '99 Lumina police pak (3.8, HD goodies, you know the drill). Now from my rear drivers side wheel, I've been hearing a clicking/popping, coinciding with the speed of the wheel, noise. So today I take the wheel off and play detective. Bearings? check, rotated the hub with a drill, not a peep. Next, check the rotor. Ok a 'lil tired, but was cut last time I did my brakes and is way over minimum thickess. Caliper check next. Nothing ripped, torn, broken or loose. Rotated the piston back in all the way, no noises or such. Pads? Raybestos Ceramic premium, minimum wear as I did the brakes like 4 months ago, no chips, gouges, etc. Nothing rubbing anywhere either. Ok, so the rotor looks a 'lil tired so maybe that's the culprit. Even though I had them machined, maybe it got a hot spot,and BTW, no vibrating @ the pedal either. Ok lets change the rotor. Put a new one on and was fine for like 5 minutes. There it is again!!!!!! lower this time, but still there. Are you serious???? I think I'll change the other rear rotor next week, but 'till then, any similar issues for anyone and what was your cure, if any? Thanks!
