Default Annoying Squeaking!

Hello,

I have this strange squeaking noise comming from the passengers side of my car at low speeds.

The squeak:

Sounds like it happens once per 1 complete rotation of the wheel, so it speeds up when i do and slows down when i do.

Applying the breaks seems to make the sound stop.

It doesnt appear to be effecting the handeling of the car or the breaking in any way, its just really loud and annoying.

Any ideas on what it could be? Ive searched the forum and most squeaks seem to be related to when people are applying the breaks, not when not breaking.

jack up the front right and spin the wheel by hand and listen. see if you can replicate the noise and start from there

Ill take a look, but I cannot think what to look for!

Cant be the bearings, i know what they sound like, isnt the break pads because the breaks arent engaged and the car isnt pulling.

Its just pissing me right off thinking about it, I brought this car for reliability. It better not be serious.
