Weird vibration and low squeak in thru axle
recently my front wheel starting making these long horn like squeaks when rolling very slowly. I noticed that it seems to coming from the thru axle. It has hit a point that when I spin the wheel, it squeaks and even slows quickly to a halt. When I loosen the thru axle it has no issues. Any guess what it could be before I take it in? I'm thinking maybe some light regreasing of the axle?
Any help appreciated. Cheers!

Brake scrubbing would be the first thing I'd make certain of. Disc, caliper, cantilever or what have you. I've just never seen a hub so bad and dry that it makes that noise. But maybe it is.
Loosening/tighening the axle will alter the plane of the wheel which can cause the scrubbing of brakes. As well, tightening the hub can tighten the bearings which might be your squeak if they are dry. Certainly other rotating parts of the hub in contact with parts or the hub/axle not moving at the same speed might be the cause too.
