okay so just like a week ago or so i started to hear noises from my back left rotor/brakes.... when im driving its making a screeching sound like if the brake pads are rubbing on the rotors, but i do not have to brake pedal pressed down at all.

does anyone know what this can be?

If the sound doesn't go away when the brakes are hit, I'd wonder if it is the wheel bearing. I believe this is what was happening to my Tiburon before I sold it. It kinda sounded like a rusty rub.

Now, I never replaced it, I sold it before dumping more money into it, so this diagnosis could be completely wrong.
No the sound doesnt go away when i press the brakes. Also when i turn off the car and touch to tire that sound is coming from it is extremely hot compared to the rest of thd tires. I do not know what this can be but im going to bleed the brakes

Does the sound go away when you hit the brakes?

Likely causes:

-Worn pads & the wear indicator is doing it's job
-Bent brake backing plate that is rubbing on the disc
-Rotor has ridges on inner and/or outer diameters that are bumping the pad edges making noise
-Rock stuck between backing plate & disc
No it doesnt stop when i press the brakes but the noise will randomly stop for like a couple minutes and then continue again randomly. It could be anything from just dirt getting stuck or the brake on that side not fully releasing bevause when i touch the rim on that side its sooooo hot

Yeah the Rim was super hot, and it only happens when the screeching starts though. Right now the screeching stopped so i think it might be that the Calibers are not fully extending out on that tire when i release the brakes.. i going to take the tire off today and the caliber and clean it up. Im thinking most likely that its the calibers.. Also, when im reversing i can hear it more than when i am going forward.

If your tire is super-hot, something is locking up your wheel. The screeching sound is from your tire rubbing on the road. Do not drive like this, you will ruin your tire. You have to take it apart and check it or take it to a mechanic who can do that.

I dont use my E Brake because its not working at all right now, looks like the cable is really loose and needs to be tightened.. im thinking it could be a tightened Pad is something so im goingto bleed the Calipers

Sounds like either a hung caliper (mis-adjusted, seized caliper slide pins), frozen e-brake or a tight pad.

Regardless, you need to get it apart and check it out.
