Just starting to notice that my car is having this tiny squealing noise when it is cruising (or lightly accelerating) at low speed (<45km)
It sounds kinda like squealing brake except much quieter (Can't hear it with the radio on), and it will completely disappear when you apply the brake. You only get it when you are cruising or lightly accelerating or decelerating .

What is causing it?
Car is an 06 330i, still under warranty but it is very inconvenient for me to bring the car in, and I am returning it in a few months(end of lease). So if it is nothing serious, I will just leave it the way it is.
