Sorry, I don't agree. Accelerometers measure acceleration, not speed. As I understand it, the ABS system works by comparing wheel speed sensors to each other, not to a reference signal.

Did you try changing the tire pressures either front or back to see if you could reproduce the noise, or alternatively, eliminate it?
