Default Help: sound is killing me

after about a 2 hour drive of constant whistling/squeeling coming from what i say is my right side wheel i just cant take it anymore. at first i thought it may be a belt but after driving for a few weeks like this it seems to be something from the wheel. it never does it at start up or idle, its very random and really doesnt do it until ive been driving a good 10 minutes or so. everytime i put my foot on the brake it cuts out and when i let go it does it again. and it seems when i hit bumps or holes it will start up again. any help would be great. thanks.

Replace your brake pads. They have wear indicators on them and cause the squeeling noise you are hearing.

On disc brakes between the caliper and the actual brake pad is the brake pad shim. Every time the pads are replaced the shim has to be lubricated with an anti-seize compound or else it'll shake, rattle, scrape, whistle, fart, or make all kinds of strange sounds caused by wheel vibration while driving. You should also check the pad retainers, and the caliper bracket itself for cracks or damage..
