Look at ades post about a knocking noise! All explained there!

[novashed]

its not a knocking noise more of a quiet squeal!!!

[whitey]

dust in discs? Or bearing still!?

you may have done the bearing up tooooo tight

did you pack it with grease also?

[novashed]

i followed the haynes guide (front wheel), tightened up to torque, then slackened, then torqued to correct setting, i didn,t pack it wiv grease though, im it didn't mention that for the fron bearing

[mikeoxford]

to my knowledge you always grease bearings - if there running dry then they will wear rapidly and will make a noise as you describe (whining) as it is metal to metal

it was a sealed unit, so u mean packing it around it so it eventually gets into it and continually lubes it?
