Default high pitched sound

guys i have a high pitched sound coming from the front right wheel area.

its not rotors, or pads (as they have been changed) and all the bolts are torqued to spec.

you can hear it driving in straight line, or turning and is intermittent.

It is light a high pitched metal noise.

Perhaps it may be a wheel bearing.

I would also say wheel bearing. Never had a problem on a Honda, but I had a '97 Nissan Maxima that would do it off and on. Never heard it when it was raining out but as soon as it dried up, I would hear it again. It usually subsided when I would brake and would be louder under acceleration but that would probably vary with the design. It started as a squeak and turned into more of a loud screeching groan, really annoying.
