Well you never said it was dependant on throttle, you only said when the car was moving. So it goes away if you let off the gas and coast?
What usually happens with the wear indicator is that it will start out as light squealing that goes away when you apply the brakes. Eventually it will get louder and persist even if you do depress the brakes.
If the noise goes away when coasting, and only happens on throttle, then it probably isn't the brakes.
If it happes when coasting, then check the pads to rule it out...only takes 15 minutes. And don't rely on just the outside pad, take both pads out of each caliper and inspect them.
