Weird Squeaking noise

My car is making a kind of squeaking/screeching noise when i drive down the road every once in a while. sometimes it does it for a long time and sometimes i barley hear it when i drive.it sounds like it is up in the front left tire. i also noticed that if i even barley touch the brake pedal the sound gos away everytime and it also makes the noise a little bit worse if i turn to the left.i had one guy say that the rotors are bad which doesn't really make alot of sense to me and another guy said to replace the brakes pads... any of you guys had this problem?what should i replace?thanks.

The pad is designed to make noise when replacement is required.

Re: Weird Squeaking noise

if the pad made noise when it was supposed to be replaced wouldn't it make noise even more when i pressed on the brakes...? because it doesn't make any noise at all when the brakes are applied.
