Default groaning brake noise

i have this sound coming from my front brakes when i am about to come to a complete stop. I don't hear anything until the sec it stop then i can a short groan from the brakes. it is more noticeable when i have the wheel turned and come to a stop. during the braking process i hear or feel nothing, its just when the car is about to stop and i hear it groan. not squeaking, not grinding.. can it be the brake pads slipping?

How old are the pads?
How much pad life do you have left?
Are your rotors in good condition?
How many miles?
Have you ever had the brakes done before?

if u have non factory pads they will make that noise ,,,,,,,,,if factory pads, remove them and sand them down ,see if noise goes away , if not , you might have to machine the rotors

the brakes pads are about 4 months old. they are oem. this only happen when i come to a stop with the wheel turned. nothing noticable during straight line braking. but i will have them sand down and see what happens.

if the sanding down of the pads will not fix the noise then resurface the rotors
