Default A weird noise

I was driving my car tonight and I pulled up at the stop light with my windows down. I heard my brakes squeak, which by the way need to be replaced, and come to a stop. I let off the brake and as I'm going slow I start to here this noise comming from the right side of the car. It's a squeaking noise also but pretty faint. I had the air and music off and I could hear rhis. Anyone know what it could be? Any help would be appreciated ,Thanks guys.

Do you know if its related to you moving the steering wheel? I had a problem with my power steering pump and it made a faint squeak in response to steering wheel action... probably not even close but I thought Id throw the idea out there

Well I think it's close because it seems a little louder when I turn it. What's wrong with the steering pump?

I have the same exact thing that actually sounds like a faint beeping noise coming from the passenger side of the car. I was just about to post this thread lol... I dont know what it is and would be happy to find out bc its really annoying.

If you haven't had the fluid changed, try that first.
Other things could be a bearing on one ofthe pulleys beginning to wear out.
