I've got a noise coming from the driver side front wheel of my 2001 RWD Ford Ranger. It started off as like a whispering "psst psst psst" that would happen every once in a while while driving (not necessarily while braking). It has gotten a little louder and more frequent now, and seems to be more connected to braking (although it still sometimes makes the sound when not braking). It does not seem to be connected to driving speed or steering input. It is not particularly loud or "screechy", at least not yet. Although it is loud enough that I can hear it at highway speeds.
Any ideas? I thought that it might be my brakes getting close to replacement, but the fact that it happens when I'm not braking make me think not. Wheel bearing?
