maybe you warped a rotor? does it go away or get louder when you step on the brakes or use your e-brake? ---

could be many things. Rust ridge on rotor touching caliper, rock in tread, nail in tire, loose hubcap, ice buildup. Just remove tire, remove any signs of corrosion (using die grinder or wire brush) or things stuck in the tread. ---
