Either wheel is not centered or like they said, electric parking brake is not centered. Try to set the parking brakes then put it in drive and drive it with the parking brake ON. It should automatically release the parking brake. They noise should disappear then.

Ok, I went for a short drive around the block. Tried to set parking brake, same noise. Thinking not parking brake anymore.
Going to check lug nuts.

WTF? I should have checked earlier,but left rear wheel had 2 lugnuts I can turn with my hand easily,they were barely on!
Went around whole car, most were ok, few weren't torqued all the way.

Drove car,sound gone!!! I'm happy I get to drive my car, and enjoy it now.
Also,wow, scary to think if I drove car,in the twisties, what could have happened.
Appreciate everybody's feedback.

notify dealer; shouldn’t have occurred; dangerous

There could be wheel damage. Check that torque after you drive it again. I would put your experience in writing to which they must respond for the record. I wouldn't trust the dealer to inspect the wheel/s either.
