WHINE (not related to P/S thread)

Has anyone here experienced a whine when the car is in reverse? for the past couple of weeks, anytime I am backing out of my driveway or a parking spot (only when the car is in reverse) I hear this whine??

After taking it to the dealer, it turned out to be the front brakes. which I replaced today following the DIY in the garage!...

Thanks...
The pads were worn down, needed to be replaced. the pad retainers were a pain though...

anyone ever have issues with the retainers? I used CMAX Gold pads.
