    Squeaking noise while driving, video

    Please help!
    What is that squeaking noise on the video? https://www.dropbox.com/s/ydgi8a9zxh....TRIM.MOV?dl=0
    Can it be the wheel bearing?
    Symptoms:
    -Occurs when it's cold, approx. below 5°C.
    -Can be heard at about 60km/h and 80km/h
    -If you drive approx. 10km it's getting quiet or gone
    -If the weather is colder it's louder and needs more time to get quiet
    -If I stop the engine while driving, put it N, and just rolling, it's still doing it

    I hear it from the front passenger wheel.
    -NOT the heat blower!
    -NOT the serpentine belt!

    id bet its the brake, sounds like they are sticky. id try spraying everything with wd-40 and seeing if the noise goes away.

    Spraying brakes with WD-40 is a horrible idea. It'll contaminate the pads, so the rotors will need a thorough cleaning and the pads will need to be replaced after this idiotic test.

    Umm spraying ANY kind of lubricant on parts like brakes that require FRICTION to operate is a terrible idea.

    One other thing to look into is the CCV on the back of the intake and for vacuum leaks. When the brake booster line was leaking from a bad o-ring in the CCV, it would howl like that under certain conditions. When things warmed up or the line sucked onto the CCV and sealed up, the noise would go away.
