annoying squeeking on dodge ram. break related?

dodge ram 1500 5.9L
this only happens about 50% of the time i drive but as im driving i hear an annoying squeeking sound coming from what seems to be my breaks. if i tap the break the sound stops but it starts up again as soon as i let off the break. the squeaking aslo gets faster as i increase speed. i looked at the rotors and it doesnt look like theres anything stuck in the break pads (like a rock or something) and the metal sheild on the back of the break isnt bent or anything. i havent taken the wheels off to look directly at my break pads but other than that i have no idea what to do or whats wrong.
also- when i press the break it DOESNT make a grinding noise so i dont think theyre worn out...
who knows...maybe some WD-40 is the fix im looking for. any help is appreciated.
 
the inside pad may be worn out on it and that will probably be whats causing the noise your hearing on that one,remove one of the wheels and check to see,good luck.
