Squeal while coasting in N

Just recently got a squeal that comes and goes while I'm just cruising at about 30 mph. It has no relation to the gas pedal pressure or when I apply the brakes. It occurs while I'm just cruising. Sounds like its coming from the left side by either one of the wheels.

any Ideas?
It's driving me nuts.

Is it more like a high pitched wine? I get that on occasion. It comes from the brakes. Not brake squeal, but something in the brakes that causes it and for me goes away when I tap the brake pedal.

It is high pitched. Sound kind of resembles brake squeal, but not as bad.

Sounds like something could be rubbing.

Off topic: how do you like those tires?

Yeah that's pretty much what mine sounds like. It's only happened to me like 5 times in 2 and a half years. Next time you hear it try pressing the brakes to see if it goes away (at least WHILE pressing the brakes). That way you can narrow it down.

...My X also does that same exact sound and it also goes away when I slighty tap the brakes. Im guessing its normal but if anyone found a "fix" for it that would be great.!

I would get a high pitched squeal sometimes, but it turned out to be my passenger
