I thought bad bearing made noises while turning, not braking.

Default hrm. well it definitely doesn't do it while turning, only braking, and its kind of a tok tok tok

the maddening thing is that it doesn't do it all the time. also its not something on the rotor, because the 'tok tok tok' sound doesn't slow down as the car slows

Could be a rock stuck in the tread of your tire. I have had this problem before.

Default nope, it doesn't vary with wheel rotation speed etc.

i.e. it doesn't slow down like toktoktok.tok..tok...tok
