Default sqeaky rear end

when i drive at a nice solid cruise speed i hear a squeak coming from the front right tire area...its not a constans squeak its more of a squeak squeak squeak as i move along, however when i apply the brake it gos away. today i puled out and checked the wheel beqrings o see if that was the issua and they were not worn at all and they were properly greased, in great condition. which makes me wonder what the problem is. the only thing i noticed out fo the rodinary when i had it aprt was that the rotor was really rough towards the the inner area which would make sense for the squeak to stop when i aplly the brake. if it helps i didnt resurface the rotor when i put pads on last time even though they could have used it . does the rotor being replaced seem like a logical fi for this problem or is it something else? thanks

**ps**

after closely evaluating the sound with a friend we came to the realitixation that it was coming from the rear end not the front...any ideas? could wheel bearings be the culprit?
