Default Weird noise after driving for a little bit. Brakes maybe?

One or both of the rear wheels make a weird noise after driving a little. The best way I can describe is like some coins are spinning in the rims. The sound is consistent with the spead...the faster I go the more I hear the noise in rotation with the tire. When I apply the brakes the noise disappears. I am assuming it is the the brakes are heating up and then something is happening. Never happens when I first get out and drive...takes a little bit for it to happen. And in reverse I don't hear the noise. freaking weird. Any ideas?

I was right. I fixed it today. This site doesn't seem to be the best when it comes to response. I am into muscle cars and I guess I am used to guys who are mechanically inclined. I think most Lexus owners are not and probably couldn't answer the threads I've posted on here and another site.

Who, what. where , when , where, when, who, what?!!!!!

Lexus is not a muscle car. There are too many computers in a Lexus to treat it just as a "muscle car". The muscle is the easy stuff and the mechanics that work on Lexus cars are more like brain surgeons than auto mechanics, "figuratively speaking of course". Your original question was way too obscure and thus why nobody probably responded. We aren't driving in the car with you so it is hard to understand what the noise you were hearing was, it was just too vague, too many possibilities for the way you described it.

I suggest that you check your rear brake pads and wheel bearing.
