Default Wheel sqeaking

Hello everyone, I've run into a problem. I noticed this when I was driving down a bridge with my windows down. It seems like my rear right wheel is making a squeaking noise while I'm in motion and stops squeaking when I drive under ~5 mph. Its not a constant squeak, its more of a frequency squeak, and it gets faster as I drive faster. I assumed it was my breaks but even when I apply the breaks I can hear the squeaking. My second guess was that my wheels were loose because my friend told me that he can see a little wobble. So I jacked up my car and tightened all the nuts. Or attempted to, it seemed like it was all the way tightened already. Does anyone have an idea of whats causing this problem?

Mine does this too. Same sort of noise, but get higher pitched when I apply my brakes lightly. I have all new rotors, new pads, and the noise is still there. Putting on a new set of calipers this weekend along with new brake lines. Are you positive it's not your brakes?

I'm pretty sure, because even when I apply my brakes the noise is still there as long as the car is still moving. And my friend spotted my wheel wobbling a bit. It might be a bent rim but I don't see how that can cause a squeaking noise. If my wheel was scraping against something it would sound more like a scrape not squeaking. Its getting annoying now and I wanted to see if its something I can fix so I don't have to take it to the mechaninc. By the way I like your ride!
