Well, I reckon, if a lot of those 44,000 miles were stop & go type miles, the OEM brake pads could be used up.
It wouldn't be uncommon for one sides pads to wear down quicker than the other side (one of them has to be first).
The brakes should have wear indicators on both sides of the car.
It could be that sound appears to be coming from the passenger side because the sound is bouncing off things along the passenger side of the road.
Whether or not the sound is caused by worn down brake pads, or glazed brake pads, or a rock stuck in there somewhere or a sticking caliper, it's best to have them checked out and fixed.
