Default Rolling *squeek...squeek...squeek*

ok this is kind of hard to explain. but heres goes nothin-

When rolling around 15-20 mph i can hear squeek squeek squeek. around 30-40 i hear squeeksqueeksqueek. at under 15mph i hear squeek...squeek...squeek. when i push on my brakes, no matter the speed, i dont hear that squeek. and when im not hearing that squeek when im rolling, i hear my brakes squeek.

When I DO hear squeek squeek squeek then brakes = no squeek

When I DON'T hear squeek squeek squeek then brakes = squeek

thats the best i can do with a description. PLZ HELP!

Oh yeah....it's called a brake pad wear indicator and that's exactly what its supposed to do. From a google search and on point:

"Pads with wear indicators will squeak or chirp when they need replacing; this noise is the metal "sensor", which is part of the pad, rubbing on the rotor. This noise will usually disappear when the brakes are engaged. Pads without wear indicators (most track pads) will grind and spark when they are worn to their backing plates ".

^^^ Or your rotors are warped and are rubbing against your pads. I would replace your pads, if it still does it.. replace your rotors.

I was going to suggest the pads or rotors...looks like these guys beat me to it. Id put my money on one of those being the culprit though.
