Default Brake squeak when NOT braking

Hello! My '05 SuperCrew has a squeak on the front right going over some light bumps. It sounds like a typical brake squeak, but it seems to go away when I'm braking.

I recently replaced all rotors and pads. The noise was happening before and is still happening.

Any ideas what's causing it? Bad caliper? Pad coming loose in the caliper and contacting the rotor? Pad squeaking against the caliper piston?

Thanks for any help!

Did you pull all pistons back to be flush with the caliper? Did you put the little wires back on the front brake pads?
