Tire screeching noise

[guy_mu1]

Hi,

My front left tire is giving some screeching noise when I drive. It would be like 'chic chi chi'.
It would stop as soon as I apply slight brake. So I think it is related to brake somehow. Not sure how!!!

Earlier I thought it is because of the loose wheel cap. I removed it but it is still there.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance...

What year and trim is your car? If I had to take a wild guess I would say you either have sand in between your disk and pad/ or you may be grinding your disk because your pads must be worn out. When's the last time you replaced your pads?
