Quiet squeaking noise while driving

Hi all, I'm not sure if anyone on here can help me!

Ive had my E86 coupe around a month and, while driving home late last night, noticed a high pitched but not particularly noisy squeak / rattle coming from what sounded like the right hand side of the car. I could only hear it below about 30mph with the window open and air con / music turned down. Almost like the kind of squeaking you might get on an old double decker bus. Will try and get a video....

It seems to go away while braking which led me to believe it was brake related, but it sounds like it could be suspension or brake related. Never heard it before on a car..

Any ideas what this could be? I know I haven't given much information..

Thanks in advance!

Well, managed to work out what was causing the noise. The brake shield on the front discs sit close at the best of times, so a tiny bit of bending of the thin Shields was enough to stop them dragging on the discs...problem solved!
