Scraping at slow speeds

Hey guys. I haven't been on here in a while but I've got a problem. I've noticed in the past few weeks that at low speeds I hear this scraping sound that sounds like it is coming from the back of my car. I think it's something rotating that is scraping because I hear it and then it stop a seconds and then scrapes again and have no clue what it could be. I only hear it when my exhaust isnt loud and when I'm going like less than 10 mph and it starts to speed up once I go faster. Had an aftermarket exhaust put on like a year ago. Could it be that coming loose?

And by the way I had my brakes checked like a few weeks ago and they said they were nowhere close to being replaced.

Wheel bearing, or axle that is bent. When your driving slalom the car back and forth. If the sound comes and goes then you probably need a hub replaced. The other thing it could be is if you hit a pot hole and bent an axle it can cause the brakes to intermittantly touch.
