When turning at low speeds, with the fan off I hear a noise that resembles a brake noise, kind of like brake pads getting low noise. (I had the brakes done about a 7K ago, so I don't think that's it.) The noise doesn't happen in a straight line, only when turning right or left.

Any ideas?

Wheel bearing. Do you hear it in the front, rear? Does it make the noise more when turning one direction v.s. the other?

I only hear it from the left front wheel. I hear it equally when I turn to the left or the right. I've diagnosed wheel bearings before when they sound like knobby tires, but this is a pretty continuous swish-swish sound. It's not very rhytmic and there is no pulsation on the brake pedal.

This is usually the brake backing plate that causes a noise when turning.On my car i could never get it aligned properly.One day it would be ok but the minute i hit a heavy bump the the noise would come back.I Sprayed some Molyslip on the plate and the noise is not as bad as before

I have a similar problem, a rythmic squeak from the front right wheel when I am turning left. More noticable when accelerating. I havent had a chance to investigate yet but any pointers on where to start would help.
