It started this morning out of the blue. It sounds like there's a stone stuck I the caliper but there is also a rubber squeak sound. However turning right e.g. round a roundabout makes it stop but it comes back after a while. I put new discs and pads on the back about a month ago and had new tyres all round and then tracked. That was about 10 days ago. So far I've not had the chance to look at it properly but the only thing I can think of is the wheel isn't on tight but there is no vibration at all just the sound. Help!

Loose wheel would certainly cause those symptoms.

Also, wheel bearing starting to go. Do the brakes operate a bit lower after going hard round a corner ?
