Strange squeak while driving...

97 Aero
Well recently my 97 Aero has been making a squeaking noise while driving...The noise sounds like it is comming from the front left wheel area. However it seems to go away when I press the brakes. I changed the wheels on the weekend and peaked at the outer pads and the life is still great however I did not look at the inner pads...

Any ideas as to what this could be??

CV joint issue is usually rhythmic according to wheel speed. Could be something like a lack of grease on wheel bearing, or the aforementioned caliper drag.

Is it high-pitched all the time or speed dependent?
