Default 05 5.7 making strange noise

i was driving my ram today and i heard a noise almost like an electric motor sound i dont know if you guys will understand this but like a wereing sound. it only happened when i wasnt excellerating and went away with braking. there was no pulling so i dont think its a brake pad rubbing any way any ideas would help greatly.

Mine does that from time to time. It is the ABS motor firing up. Mine does it at the track after braking hard, and stops when I tap the brakes again

They covered it- probably ABS motor or x-fer case motor.
