Default does this sound like a bad axle?

ok when i let off the gas it makes a squealing noise. if i take a left turn the noise gets louder but if i go into a right turn no noise, also when i have my foot on the gas there is no noise till i let off. i thought it was my brakes but i put new ones on so im guessing its either the axle or pulleys. ive had bad axles b4 but none sounded like this thanks in advance for ur input

sounds more like a wheel bearing than an axle.

pull the wheel off and inspect the axle and see if your rubber boots are torn or if there is alot of freeplay in the axels themselves.

there is alot of play in the wheel. and i was thinking a bearing too. also when i slow down the noise is like a brake sticking u can hear the noise with every rotation of the tire

if thre is alot of play in the wheel its probably your wheel bearing. inspect all your other stuff like tie rod ends too while you are there.
