Been a happy owner for a month. Great car!

But starting yesterday it has been making this bizarre brake squeal type of noise when turning or under acceleration. It sounds just like a brake squeal mixed with scraping metal on a chalk board. It's loud. Doesn't happen all the time. I think it may be temp specific. This morning it made hardly a peep. But as the temp increased as the day went on i now have people on sidewalks noticing.

Does not happen when applying brakes.

Any thoughts on what it could be.

A foreign object might have gotten caught up around a brake caliper causing it to scrape against the rotor, when brakes are applied it might move into a non critical spot.

I'd have a very close look at each brake assembly.
