Default squeek unlike neone elses

i cant find this deam thing. its the front right tire i think. when i drive at first it wont squek but as it warms up it will. the squek is very high pitched and goes about the same time as the tires rpms. when i hit the brakes that pitch changes and a whole nother pitch noise starts. iv tryed spinnin the tire when the cars lifted. nothing. relubed all componets. nothing. iv driven the car put it in neutral and shut it off and it was still going. i dont c ne thing touching like the backing plate. im just lost. and its geting worse.

is everything lubed up porperly? Wheel bearings might make that noise if they are lacking some lubrication.

Have you checked your brake pads? Some have wear-indicator rivets in them, and when the pad gets worn down, it'll scrape lightly against the rotor to let you know that you need to get some new ones. If you let it go without changing the pads, it'll just get worse as more pad material is gone, and more of the rivet is exposed. Since you said the noise gets worse when you apply the brakes, well, it makes even more sense to look at the pads.

The wheel bearings are in a sealed hub, you unfortunately have to buy the whole replacement hub, which, if I remember right run about $120 each.

Check your brake pads first.

Have you lifted the vehicle in the air and "jacked up" the one wheel, you could have something rubbing that only rubs when there is weight on the vehicle. Hitting the brakes while driving would further compress the suspension and change the contact area. I had a car at work that the inner fender liner rubbed but you couldn't tell unless the suspension was compressed.
