Exclamation Noise while turning left

I have replaced my brakes 1000 miles ago. When i turn left my front passenger side starts creating a noise from the wheels. Not sure which part though.
Any tips for diagnostics?

Try checking the pad wear indicator and clip for it. The pass. side is the side that has both for front and rear. Maybe a clip came dislodged or something?

Also, it could be possible that the brake dust shield is rubbing the inner surface of the rotor when turning, so check clearances there.

I noticed a noise on my passenger side not long after I purchased it. I raised the vehicle and rotated the tire to listen for the noise. Nest, I took the tire off and found that the wire for the brake wear sensor was rubbing the rotor. Took the slack out, repaired the damaged wire, and all is well now.
