High Pitched Squaking Noise

I'm going absolutely mad with this high pitched squeak coming from the wheels/axel or something like that. I've had the break pads checked and it's not them. I DON"T KNOW WHAT THE HELL. And I don't want to take it to the dealership so they can give me some BS. It's mainly at slower speeds but I can still hear it almost up to 50 mph. It sucks! Any clues??

Did you ever try the rotor dust shields? They tend to rub the rotor making a squeal or maybe grind... I had it on mine and it was VERY annoying. just bend them back a little and see if it works, cant hurt to try

I'll give that a try, thanks. Could you direct me to them a little more specifically?

You literally cant miss it.....look at your rotor, and take a look behind it, its about the same exact size as the rotor, it just covers the back side. It should just be a flimsy metal surrounding directly behind the rotor...you dont even need to take off your wheel, just shove a screwdriver through your wheel and push the shield back away from your rotor

Heres what it sounded like:
0-5 mph - really high pitched squeal, also scratching
10+ mph - scratching heard w/ windows open
