You could easily have a front wheel bearing going bad. They tend to get louder when turning. The squeal can be from the bearing itself, or possible from the brake rotor rubbing on the brake stone guard behind the rotor when turning. That rubbing won't occur unless there is excessive play in the wheel bearing or if the guard is bent.

Usually caused by sticking caliper piston.

check the brake pad sensor or a rust

Have you not looked over the brakes & even taken
things apart, looking for & eliminating brakes as an issue?
Checked drive axles,joints,etc.
Tires won't make a noise & brakes are not near the wheel,
to touch anything
New wheel hubs are ruined by mechanics obsessed with those
air driven impact guns,you need to use a torque wrench on the
axle nut of a new bearing

the noise is probably the ware sensors on the brake pads making noise the noise lets you know that the brakes are getting thin are are ready to be replaced.if you let this go to long you can damage the brake rotors, make sure you check to make sure the caliper is not sticking on the left side being this side is making more noise ,a stuck caliper can cause premature brake pads ware .

Could be brake caliper more likely a wheel bearing.

The hard part is pressing the caliper piston abck into the caliper so you can get the new, thicker pads over the rotor. A large C Clamp works best.
