Strange screw like sound when driving

When driving I hear this metal sound something like if a screw is coming loose from my passenger front wheel it only goes away when brakes are applied....

anyone else have this issue??

I have checked all bolts everything is solidly in place...
I find it ultra weird that it stops when brakes are applied...

please help..

My searches have lead to me finding info on our squeeky brakes but that is not the case here... its a real bother.... makes my car look and sound cheap rolling to a stop light with this squeeky screw like sound....

If it's brake related, start by examining the brakes. Check the pads, piston, etc. Could be the brake pads are close to finished and the wear indicator is riding on the disc. Could be the brake heatshield has rusted through or bent enough to touch the disc. Check for play in the wheel at the same time.
