I'm off to France for a Z-ing road trip next week, tonight I noticed a squeal coming from the N/S, I think the rear and wife agrees.
Only noticeable going through lanes at lower speed. If I apply the handbrake or press the brake there is no change in tone. There is no wheel bearing "grumble".

Any advice welcomed before I jack it up, or I'll have to take it to my indy.

BTW New pads and discs a couple of thousand miles ago.

Sounds to me like a random stone got it in between disc and dust cover buddy
Try pushing shield through wheel of offending wheel. If not wheel off N look

Ps one of you drive it
One of you listen for which wheel

I had something similar a while ago and thought it was a stone, turned out to be one of the retaining pins had come out of the rear handbrake brake shoes and this caused a squeal noise that was heard at low speeds. May be worth checking but means taking the disc off again.

Try to work out if the squeal happens when you turn to the left or right. It could be a wheel bearing on its way out. Dust guard could also be touching the brake disc.

binding brake or slightly warped disc will also cause the issue
edit... Although those symptoms usually disappear under braking

Thanks everyone, I removed the offending wheel (NSR) and disc. I think it was the handbrake shoes (too tight) causing the noise. I found one inner ring/band of glazing on the shoes which I roughed up with sandpaper, I also slackened off the adjuster by a few notches which I hope will stop the squeal.

Interested to read this as I've occasionally had the same thing intermittently which makes it hard to find but was suspecting rear shoes. I'll add it to my winter jobs

Further update. I read about adjusting the handbrake and then slackening it off. I only loosened mine a few notches. Turns out it's meant to be loosen at least nine (9) teeth/notches. This allows the automatic handbrake adjuster to function. Now I have free play at the hand brake lever. When applied it has more braking power.

Should of Googled it in the first place.lol.
