Default High pitch squeak, need help!

Okay so I have recently started hearing a squeak. I have generally located it. It happens per rotation of the front right wheel. Aside from a possible new wheel bearing is there anything that yall could advise this could be?

Could be the u-joint on your front driveshaft.

Does it get louder as you speed up?

Not louder but more frequent, but when I apply the brakes it always stops. I will look at that though, any other suggestions are still greatly appreciated!!

How are your brake pads?

Check to see if the caliper is tight. They are notorious for stripping out. Mine would squeak when I would hit bumps but would stop when the brake was applied and it turns out that my bottom caliper bolt would not tighten. I drilled it out then heli-coiled it and it was fine

Okay so yall are generally thinking the same way as I am. I will note I did just install new rotors. So at this point the brakes is something I am going to get and have specfically looked at.
