Front end creak, squeek, chirp, skritch

All those sounds and a couple more. Weirdest sounds I've ever heard out of an auto. They come and go but are getting more frequent. The sounds are very irregular except that some or all are related to wheel rotation. Some of them will speed up and slow down with wheel speed. Some of the skritching sounds remind me of a loose piece of thick wire being jostled around and scraping things.

The sounds seemed to come from the right at first but now seem to be in the middle and spread out.

Last time I filled up they went away completely until I got down to a half tank or so.

I've inspected brake pads and anything I could see or yank on. Nothing looks suspicious.

I've been meaning to check into lubrication. I wonder what my two manuals say.

Anybody dealt with something like this?
