Default Help me identify this loud annoying a$$ sound!!

Ever since I changed my brakes last week, my car has been making an annoying high pitch sound. I don't know how to explain it so I attached a couple videos so you can hear what I'm talking about. At first it was only doing it when I turned right and not left. Now it's also doing it while i'm driving and when I turn right but it stops when I step on the brake. The sound is coming from the right rear of the car around the brake caliper I was having problems with. At first I thought it was the caliper that was going bad so I went and bought another one and it's still doing it. And my car also made this sound the last time I changed my brakes. I don't know if my rotor is warped or what is going on. So if anyone has had this happen to them or if anyone knows what could possibly be causing this, please let me know.

I have to ask the same question as mass red. sounds like your break pads are grabbing.

Your pads are grabbing. You need to make sure that your sliders are not frozen into the Caliper bracket. I had the same issue a few weeks back and I replaced everything but I had a slider that was frozen up in the bracket causing constant pressure.

and yes you should replace your rotors if that's the case or see if you can have them turned.

So the sliders, aka caliper bolt/pins are supposed to move? Because one of them moves and the other one doesn't. Would that cause abnormal wear on the brake pads? Just changed my brakes less than a year ago and had to change them again last week.

Now that I think about it, that makes totally perfect sense. If one moves and one dont, you're going to have constant pressure on the brake pads. Especially if one is stuck more forward than the other one. That has been driving me crazy, I appreciate your help.
