Hi, my 2001 mazda tribute has a squeak coming from the front wheel on the driver side. It doesn't squeak when you push on the brakes. Please let me know what you think it might be.

Thank you,
John

That sounds like the warning sensors for the pads are starting to touch. Looks like it's time for new brakes.

the front brake pads are good I just had them checked, could the rotors be making the noise? It looks like a deep scratch is in the driver side rotor. And the noise happens every time the wheel rotates when driving. It sounds like squeak, squeak , squeak , squeak, like the wheel makes the noise everytime it passes a certyain spot when the car is driving, but when I brake it goes away. It is 4 wheel drive, so could it also be somthing else?

I think you should have them checked again and this time have them look at all 4 brakes pads not just one and specifically look at the sensors.
