Thank you all! You were correct in that the problem was corrosion. I
didn't have wd40, but I sprayed water and mild soap (i had a bottle
from when I was using body clay to clean the car). I let that sit a
little while and then the wheel came off! Sure enough, there were
some foam peanuts from a box and a piece of card-board stuck by the
rotor. This was the source of the noise!!! I took that out and put
the wheel back. I have to get some grease to put on all the wheels
but I finally got rid of the noise. I'm glad it's gone and I didn't
have to go to the dealer!! That makes me happy :)

No! Don't use grease! Anti-seize compound is the order of the day...
