Squeaky noise while driving

Hi guys,
I'm currently having a squeaky noise while driving, the noise stop when I apply the brakes but comes back whether I press the gas or let it coast. I dont think its my brakes or rotors and I actually had them change roughly 10k miles ago but they were a cheap brand from rock auto if that matters. It has squeak in the past when I put my car in reverse especially after it rain but only when I apply the brakes. I'm not too sure where the noise is coming from. The car seems to be driving fine but I dont wanna risk it. My car is a 2012 G37x coupe with 50k miles on it. I have a video uploaded on youtube for a reference. Any help would be greatly apperciated !

did you put the anti rattle clips back onto the caliper bracket correctly when you did the brakes? if the anti rattle clips are in the wrong position and/or smashed by the pads due to bad install it can cause a squeek.

Thanks for all the input guys, gonna have my buddy add grease today and see if that solves it, *finger cross*

*update, so apply the grease help alot with the noise...can only hear it when the music is turn off, windows down and you listen for it but its still there....it rly didnt help that the grease help it but didnt resolve it....🙄 the brake pads are cheap so im thinking of replacing them and my tires are super bad as well....only thing i can think of that can add to the problem, it doesnt explain why adding grease help it and not solve it..
