Default Front end squel

Today while driving, the drivers side front wheel started to scream like hell. I had no idea what it could be. I dabbed the brakes, sudden wheel movements nothing.
It dissapeared as fast as I noticed it though??

Does this sound like the wheel bearings??

I was driving in a tunnel (known to make weird noises) but I am 98% sure this noise was coming from my car.

Rock/stone stuck between pad/calliper and disc would be my guess. Wheel bearing noise is more of a whir than a squeal, and once you have it, it doesn't go away; it just gets worse. So definitely not wheel bearings, IMO.
