During speeds of 20-55 MPH I experience a very annoying and loud high pitched noise, similar to a tea kettle or someone letting the air out of a balloon. Ive been experiencing it for about 2 months. No effects noticed.The noise is from the right front wheel. I took it to a mechanic who suggested new rotors. I'm a little skeptical...any thoughts?
