    --->> Listen..
    I tried to reduce a noise,, but didn't help much. I will try to record it with better equipment later.


    It's heard when I drive, cold or warm, with steering wheel right from center.
    It varies with speed.

    It doesn't sound when:
    1. brake is pressed
    2. steering is, even slightly, turned left. (or it's heard but quieter,, i don't know)

    I'm pretty sure that it's coming from front left.

    I have front brake rotor and pad replaced in June 2009, rear pads Feb 2010.
    I've searched,, couldn't find much.
    Someone wrote to check if nuts are torqued right(?) I don't know.

    Need help! Not only it's annoying, I am worried.

    UPDATE: I notice the pitch changes (goes higher) as brake pedal is pressed. It finally goes away when brake seems to slow it down.
    UPDATE2: after relatively heavy snow (southeast kansas here), it seems to be gone(??)

    The noise might be gone, but my curiosity still remains.......... What is(was?) going on?!
