Horn noise while braking with 21" front wheel

This happened on my rear wheel when I installed new bearings I did not correct seat the bearing on the rotor side of the wheel first (as per the service manual), and as a result the rotor was not perfectly lined up with the calliper.
I would not shim the calliper need to get the bearing on that side correct and depending on the wheel you may need a different set of left and right side wheel/axle spacers.

The rear wheel does not make any noise, it is perfect so in fact it is strange that there is noise only at the front as I use the same brake pads and discs both front and rear.
How can I check if the bearing is installed correctly? I bought new wheels and they already had the bearings installed. I made two spacers with the lathe lower than 1mm and nothing has changed. How do I determine the length of the spacers according to the noise that I hear while braking?
Many thanks for your help!!

Your post is really interesting!

For a new different wheel, do a trial fit without the spacers only the axle, then with the rotor dead centre of the slot in the calliper measure the length needed for the spacer on that side - the other side spacer length isn't critical.
