2009 Corolla S chirping noise on uneven road surfaces

I have a 2009 Corolla S with about 38,700 miles on it. For some time now I have had a chirping noise (noticeable when radio is off) when I am on uneven road surfaces. For example, my driveway has noticeable sinking where car tires have driving on it from many years of use (it needs to be repaved). When I drive in or back out from my driveway I get a chirping noise when the tires go over the grooves in the driveway.

any ideas???

I have a suspicion that when your tires roll over a sloped surface the wheel puts pressure on the brake pads just enough for the pad to touch the rotor. This may make a noise. If the sound goes away when you apply the brake while backing up in your uneven driveway that would tend to confirm my hypothesis. If the pads are worn down the wear indicator may be scraping on the rotor. That may make the noise too.
