Default squeak from font left

So there is a squeak coming from my left front wheel. It squeaks when I either come to a stop or take off from a light. it does not matter if the brakes are on or not. It does it when I am going about 10 mph or less. it does not matter which way the wheel is turned or if its turned at all.

I think it is a wheel bearing but im not 100%

You sure your brake pads aren't gone? Sounds like it to me.

Wheel bearings don't squeak anyway. I'd look at ure pads and ensure your caliper pins are lubed

Look behind the rotor under the wheel hub. There are two metal tabs that may have come in contact with the rotor. I had that exact issue with mine. Slightly bent them so they didn't touch and the noise disappeared.
