97 Honda Civic EX Persistent Brake Problem

Had this posted in the wrong category so I thought I'd re-post it. 1997 Honda Civic EX (V-tec)... Now my son's car. Automatic. 160,000 miles. Problem: Front passenger side brake sounds like it's rubbing against something when braking. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh during revolution of tire. Both front pads and rotors have been changed 5 times in less than two years. New front cailpers, too! Mechanics can't figure it out. Tires look good. Bad rim? How can you tell? Mechanics keep saying rotor is warped. I can't believe that any more. And if they are correct, something must be causing the rotor to warp. (Please don't blame it on a puddle of water.) Anybody have any idea of what could be causing this rubbing noise when braking. This noise gets louder the hotter the brakes get -- if that's a clue. This is getting ridiculous. Can't believe that three different mechanics can't figure this out. They just can't get to the root of this problem. Anyone have any ideas? I'm grasping at straws here. Help! Thanks.
