I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata that squeaks when I turn left while in motion. It squeaks regardless of the degree of the turn but is more noticeable at slower speeds. The squeak isn’t a screech so I don’t think it’s a belt. it isn’t a grinding noise either. More like a “squeak, squeak, squeak.” Seems to squeak with the rotation of the tire. Any ideas?

Thanks all!

Some brake pads have wear indicators that will rub on the rotors when they become worn and make a noise.

Sometimes they make noise when you brake or they can make noise when not on the the brakes.

It’s not an exact science.

Have the front brakes inspected.

I agree with @Tester‌

I’ve often found that the squeak noises are worn brakes

Would this be the case even when the brakes aren’t being applied?

Brake pad wear indicators can make noise when on or off the brakes.

It often squeaks the loudest, or most noticeable after letting up on the brakes and coasting at low speed.
