Default noise from brake

this afternoon, i drive my car ( 2004 honda accord, v6), and i heard some noise from the front left brake. whenever i turn right, the noise increases, when on a straight line and the noise decrease, when turn left, the noise goes away, do u think there is something such as sand or other thing in the brake? how can i fix? also the brake rotor rusted. the noise just started today.

I've noticed a squealing when I brake w/ my '04 coupe. Honda mechanic says its a dust build up. They cleaned it out and the noise was back in about a day.

If it's more of a grinding-type noise it sounds like the beginning of your wheel bearing failing.

inspect the outside of the rotors to check condition. sometimes its just glaze on the pads that make t squeak.

if its glaze you can drive with the brake and gas for a about 10 sec and release the brake.. that removes any glaze you may have on the pads.

Here in the Syracuse area the rotors rust then rub on the backing plate on turns. May be able to just push the plate a little further away from the rotor.

Good luck

If your brake pads are worn right at the wear indicator, it can just barely touch when you turn and make noise. If that's it, once it wears a little more, it will just make noise when you apply the brakes, not so much when you turn.

If the brakes pads are NOT worn to the indicators, you have a rock or something stuck in the wrong place. Either way, get your brakes checked.
