I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD 4 wheel drive.  
  
 When driving 5 to 10 mph I get a squealing noise on the drivers side wheel.  
  
 I don’t hear it at high speed.  
  
 It sounds similar to a rubbing noise.  
  
 Can someone help please with this issue.

What you might be hearing is a wear indicator on a brake pad. Have you had the brakes inspected?

Tester…The brake pads are new and it didn’t make any noise after installing them.  
Any other suggestions…Thanks

Are you driving around in 4 wheel drive on dry roads?

No I am not driving in 4 wheel on dry roads.  
I have noticed lately that I can feel something in the brake pedal when slowly applying brakes during the noise.
