This could be the break pad retaining springs. If the caliper assembly leaves a gap for the break pads they will make noise. Remove the wheel and look to see if the brake pads have excess room.
check for failed wheel bearings or loose wheel on studs. Check suspension ball joints and steering joints the problem is serious so have the front inspected by a competent mechanic
There is a small metal tab on the brake pad made to make noise when the brakes are close to worn out,the noise goes away under braking,I suspect the pads are in need of replacement.Make sure the rear brakes get checked for proper adjustment at the same time.
This can be from a number of problems. You have wear tabs, sometimes called "screech tabs" and they are suppose to make noise when the brake pads are thin. This will happen when the caliper shifts in a turn or the brakes are applied.
Next, the wheel bearings will definitely whine when they are dry or worn out. The application of the brakes makes the bearing shift slightly and this can temporarily stop the noise. The weight shift can be enough to relieve the worn part in a turn by changing the angle of the wheel in a turn. But a brake caliper can also rock in its mounts during a turn and pull away from where it was rubbing.
This repair requires hands-on inspection of the parts to sort the good from the bad. All of these parts are in the same area.
have your brake pads checked out, often they are so close to finnished that they make a noise when not applied, as soon as you apply them they press on the last bit of padding left and the noise goes away.
semi-metallic pads can cause noise from glazing over if you are too rough on them, or a crappy pad composition. get some BG brand STOP SQUEAL and apply it to the pads. clears it right up
