2008 Odyssey - sometimes produces loud whining noise noise will pause when I slightly touch the break and resume when I release the break or surprisingly will pause when I hit the road bump link to youtube video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player\_detailpage&list=UUbRu-MikirfwOyWs9u-](https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&list=UUbRu-MikirfwOyWs9u-) B0P-A&v=JehroxYtMY8 thanks a lot of any advice… ---

How many miles? Maybe a worn wheel bearing? ---

Sounds like it could be the brake pad squealers. Touching the brakes is the clue. Have the pads checked. ---

80K miles indeed touching the brakes would point to pads/squealers but the sound is whining and high pitch. If I understand it correctly squealers sound would be more metallic, low , screeching. I will have the brakes checked anyway today. and if it was the bearings why would it stop when I touch the brake… ---

This is your brake pads telling you they are worn out and need to be changed immediately before you any damage to the rotors.
