Low speed noise is not generally from an axle. A bad axle usually causes a rapid clicking noise when turning or when the inner joint is bad it will cause a higher speed vibration when accelerating.

The noise you have is probably a brake pad noise. Typically from cheap pads that aren't made to the exact oem shape which causes the backing part of the pad to clunck on the part where the pad rests on.
