Default 2013 Focus wheel squeeling

Hi All,
Anyone got any idea on what this high pitch metal on metal sound in the background might be? Its noticeable when im going straight, but worse if i turn left, and pretty much goes when im turning right. Braking doesnt seem to have an impact from what i can tell. Its coming from the front left wheel (passenger side). Thanks in advance
(its the noise in the background that kinda sounds like two metal dishes rubbing...? )

Could be the cv shaft rubbing against the seal or even the hub? You need it up in the air so you can spin the wheel and listen & inspect.

it is also possible you have failing carrier bearing in the hub, check play in the wheel when jacked up.

I had an earlier model focus that had a high pitched sound that changed when turning as well.

It turned out to be a piece of brake pad had fallen out and lodged itself between the rotor and brake shielding.

Might be worth checking nothings stuck in there somewhere.
