Best advice I can give you is to jack up the rear end - put the car in neutral and spin the wheel by hand. See if you can identify what's making the noise. There are numerous things it could be: Warped or improperly installed rotor, bad wheel bearing, bent dust shield - etc...

I recommend changing the title of the thread to the actual question and posting the fix so others in the future can easy search for similar problems. Just posing "c4 corvette" as a title doesn't give any information.
