The same thing happened to me but in a different scenario. The brakes just started squealing or producing a sound as if some metal was grinding against something.

It began when I was exiting a junction and it only stopped when, I brought the car to a complete halt, then I drove off and the sound disappeared as mysteriously as it came.

Just had the fluids changed and bled for the brake less than 2 weeks ago. It is a 2010
RHD with no changes other than H&R 25mm spacers all around which had been installed 6 months back.

So need help in finding the source and cure for the noise. Thank you

Check the dust shield - it may be making contact with the rotor.

Check for trash in the caliper.

Check pads/rotors.

If the sound stopped when you stopped and is now gone for good, my guess is you had a pebble stuck in the brakes that dislodged when you stopped.
