Corsa X reg 1.2

When driving along and steering slightly to the left or right i get a very high pitch screeching sound coming from the passanger side of the car, probably from around the wheel. its doesnt happen all the time, but when it happens it does it for ages, and it doesnt really happen when driving straight. i didnt notice until recently with havin the windows open. some people say its the brakes but it doesnt happen when braking.

any ideas on whats causing it? anythin i could try n sort myself like, or needs doing proffesionally?

please help
