Default Squeaking when moving

Last few days my car has started to squeak when moving, not braking. Its a MY02 wrx. It tends to be 10-15 minutes after driving, is it my pads/disc low?
The noise stays untill you yank the wheel left/right or stab the brakes. then it comes back a few seconds later. Anyone help? It's due a service in the next 1000 miles, should I tell them to stick new pads/discs on?

Advice appreciated.

Get them checked out. I had the same problem from my Legacy. The noise was a irritating squeeking noise but was happening all the time. Apparently the pads have something built in them (metal) that starts to rub against the disc when the pads are too low. If its coming from the front get them checked asap.

But then again it could be something completely different!!! It could be something worse!!! Get it checked asap at least for peace of mind.
