rubbing sound? sqwealing?

hi

it was kinda cold n humid the other morning


as I slowly drove away, a rough rubbing sound was heard, kinda high pitched


no brakes were applied......what would cause that, jus driving???

BTW: 2005 civic 4 door

Could be rusty rotors. The pads always drag a little and if there was some rust on the rotors it might cause the noise you were hearing. Did it go away after a few applications of the brakes?

ya, after a bit it went away

but this was a sound that was being heard without applying the brakes

as even though the car is free moving, there was something rubbing

i'm probally worrying about nothing

The brake pads are always dragging on the rotors a little. Its just that they don't normally make a sound because the rotor is relatively smooth. When you get flash rust on the rotors, those dragging pads sound a lot worse.
