Default Receiving High Pitched noise from breaks after install of suspension

I installed my tien basics yesterday, and after the install only on my front passenger side, i'm received like a whistling sound from the breaks. When i'm in a lower gear it sounds like air is traveling through the break to create a whistling sound. Do anyone know how to fix this? or is the breaks just dirty and i need to clean it because of the process of possible dust and guck on the rotars/breaks?

first of all it's brakes not breaks which is what we take at work. Second, check your disc brake backing plates to make sure they didn't get accidentally bent and are touching the back(s) of the rotor(s) when you were installing the suspension.

nope it's just thin metal so you can bend it back out with your hand. Jack the car up and spin the wheels..if it's touching you'll hear it..
