Odd squeek from left front 850

We started noticing it last weekend on a trip. It starts to be heard around 25 mph, and stops around 50 mph. It is constant pitch (doesn't vary with speed), something similar to the sound of a seagull, if you can picture that. It makes the sound with the car moving in gear (A/T) or in neutral, with brakes applied and without. You can hear inside the cabin, and outside as you drive by. When slowing, the sound always stops around 20-25 mph.

It is loud enough that some pedestrians turned their heads to gawk.

So, what do you think this could be?

Thanks

Sounds to me that your wheel bearings are going. Time to replace them before they cease up. Take it in unless your willing to do it yourself. You need a press to remove them out of the wheel hub.
