sounds like is coming from the driver side front wheel but i am not 100% certain.
it's kind of metal scrapping noise (high pitch), sounds like brake squeak but not 100% the same... only happen at low speed (under 15mph, mainly under 10 mph), the noise is speed related (i.e. faster speed= scrapping faster...)
however after a bit more speeding up (around 15-20mph) the noise will be gone, or ease off the gas pedal the noise will be gone too....
one point need to mention is that nearly 90% happen when i stop at junctions and do a 90 degree left turn or doing a left turn into side road. However, i don't recong. i hear that when i do a right turn.
i have jack up the front and check last weekend, wheel bearing=fine, spin the wheel by hand=noise free, i even strip the brake and clean the pad. But the noise is still there.
what could the problem be?

Try rocking the engine. I have a squeak from the engine mount that sounds like the front drivers door, turns out it is the top mount.

i think i have found the problems.
it is coming from the brakes, but not because of sticky calipers, more likely is because of the brake pedal.
as the squeak starts, i try to lift the brake pedal from the bottom and the squeak stops.
so what can i do now?

Probably the brake pad is worn out. Need to be replaced.
