Disc brake rubbing after reinstalling front wheel

Hi everyone,

after removing and reinstalling my front wheel with the quick release, I noticed that the brake rotor slightly rubs against the brake pad intermittently while spinning, causing a subtle intermittent noise.

The wheel still spins freely for several seconds, Could this cause extra resistance while riding?

I already tried reinstalling the wheel and it improved, but there is still a small rubbing noise.

Could the caliper need realignment, or did I maybe reinstall the wheel slightly off-center?

And so how could I fix it?
