Default Squeeks!

Got some squeaks! I thought it was my polyuratheane (sp?) bushings because it sounds like crickets when I drive up the road. But when I press the breaks, the squeaks stop. Whaddya think it is? Pad touching the rotor while driving?
Thanks guys.

If just lightly touching the brakes makes it go away..... I'd guess that the wear indicator on the pad (s) is touching the rotor. Which would mean time for new pads

Did you recently change catback systems? I had that same squeak. It was the passenger side rubber hanger. I just stuffed a shim in there and the squeak stopped.
