Propshaft UJ would give noise approx  4 x faster than a roto or driveshaft UJ.  Problems with propshaft UJs also tend to cause vibration increasing with speed.

If it's been standing a while it might be the sound of brake shoes dragging on a partly rusty drum - does the noise change if you pull on the handbrake?

Assuming all the roto fixing bolts are tight and it's not got any deep cracks or de-bonding going on I'd discount the rotor itself.  Possibly the inner UJ though it's rather hard to spot problems with these as the roto keeps them under a fair amount of tension.
