I could make a case for the pads just barely dragging on the disc. You
don't say how loud the sound is, but it is possible that the pads are
hanging up a bit in the caliper. A place to look...

My GT6 MKIII has the same exact problem. The other thing I noticed is when I
turn the wheel to the right, the noise also seems to go away. My brakes also
squeak loudly when I back down my driveway. They work fine though, just a bit
irritating....
