It could be the brake pads. Try tapping the brake pedal slightly while turning and see if it goes away. This is a common occurrence with disc brakes.

Could be the bearings. I was surprised when I first checked out my bearings and they were dry as the desert. It had been ridden 50K with the previous owner and they looked like they were never greased! Which of course isn't good becuase they could have locked up. So check out to make sure they're greased.

Unless it squeeks when your braking like mentioned above. If it is from the brake pad, they make inserts that go in the calipers so it won't squeek.

Hopefully it's an easy fix though.
