brakes screech when car is turning

What does it mean when the brakes emit a high-pitched screech (though not
too loud) when they're applied when the steering wheel is turned? They
don't make this sound when the wheels are straight. When I back out of my
driveway and cut the wheel to back into the street, they grind and screech a
little. I've also noticed the sound when I apply the brakes while turning at
an intersection. I recently had the rear brakes adjusted, and the front
rotors were trued, by the dealership. Is there a common problem with
Impreza brakes?

2003 Impreza Outback Sport.

Thanks

I have a 97 OBW, and it was doing the same after getting the brake pads
replaced, only on right turns, and only on the left of the car, and more
so when I had a passenger... anyway, I left it until the next service,
mentioned it, and they said it was just a pad that had a burr on the
end, and so it was a high point, and rubbed on the disc.

not saying this is what is wrong with yours, but it sounded similar.
