belts and bearings make high pitched squeels, check the belts to see if they are cracked, and look at the pullys to make sure they are running true (straight)

Also, check the wheel bearings

jack up the front end, take the wheel off, and spin the hub, if you hear it dragging, or grinding, replace it.

(just in case you dont know what the hub is, its the disc with the studs in it. The brake disc is infront of it. If you dont understand that, take it to a mechanic)

i know what the hub is.. but what does this have to do with the car hearing a loud high pitch noise when the car is STILL. idle. parked. ETC.
