Is it really squealling, or chirping? Its possible that your brake pads are worn to the point where the wear indicator is sounding. You probably need new ones. If they are really squealling, you are probably scoring your disc rotor. Get it checked right away, you may be able to save some money, not just your or someone else's life.

What would cause a squealing noise from front end of 1995 Camaro that is quieter when brakes are applied?

Start with the most likely andeasiest to fix. Check your brake pads... There is a wear indicator on the inside pads (closest to engine) that will rub on the rotor and make a squealing noise to warn you that the pads are getting thin. When you apply the brakes the noise will go away a lot of the time. If the pads are new or not making the noise then I do not know what the problem may be.
