Wheel bearing gone? Touching the brake recenters it all and stops the noise.

Jack it up and see if one of the wheels wobbles.

Just a quick question you haven't changed the hoses under the bonnet recently as there is a 1 way valve in the break master cylinder hose which if removed causes a whistling noise that goes away when you use the brakes.

Worth a mention as a friend had this issue on his car. Took a while to work out.

Also check for stones/grit between the disc and the inner disc protector.
