Default weird sound from the passenger side

im sure its coming from the suspension or something. it only happens when i start moving and when the car comes to a complete stop the sound is gone. i tried searching but there are just too many weird sound posts that i couldnt find one. it sounds like something is scraching my rotors or something, kind of a hissing sound and if i drive a longer, it just goes away
but everytime i start up my car and start driving again, it'll come back
can anybody help me?

if they are not the stock rims you might be rubing if they are stock rims then it is probably the rotors , how old is you your suspinsion it might just be tha your shocks are gone and you are rubbing your tires.

describe your "weird" sound....lower pitch grinding (like clippers going through hair) and i'd say tires rubbing fender well....higher pitch scratching (like rubbing/grinding metal together) would be your pads....squeaking noise (like a bad boxspring with a plus-sized date) and i'd say your shocks are dead....low pitch wobble + vibrations and i'd say you have a bent rim or loose lugnuts

its more of a higher pitch sound like a whistle.....i know for sure my rotor is warped and they have been ordered. im just waiting for them to come but it was not making those noises, it just started yesterday. the rims are 17" and has about 2 finger gap from the fender, so i don't think it could be that...how could it be the pads though? its while im speeding up and even braking. i just hear the sound whenever the car moves faster then say....20km/h?

well today i drove it and there was no sound at all......ehhhh?
it was only the day i started driving my lude against because it was snowing pretty heavily for the week and when it settled down, i took the car out for a spin and it started making the noise
but today i drove it and it was fine....should i still look into this or could it just of been some ice or something in my rotors which melted now?

If your brake pads are worn out then why not? Check the inner pad because it might be binding metal to metal. Does the sound get louder at higher speeds?
