That is the brake shield or worn pads. Check the pad wear first.

Default you don't have to have the brakes on for it to make that noise...

the pads that are worn, are still touching the rotor as you make the turn, BUT, it still may be the brake shield.
that screeching noise is a key.
take the wheel off and see.

Sounds like a loose heat shield. Check the shield right above the cat, often comes loose.
