Seat Leon Cupra 290 squeal from left wheel

[Stevo2001]

Hi all
I have recently started to experience a high pitched squeal when turning left , but only at a very specific steering angle and typically at low speeds, so it’s very intermittent.
I read that someone on here had a similar experience but on the rear left, and they also mentioned a strange rhythmic sound at high speeds. I believe I may also have this, almost like a vibration sound but without any physical vibrations, consistent over 50mph, like an on and off humming sort of noise - so hard to explain so apologies for a shocking description.
Has anybody experienced similar and can confirm if it’s likely a wheel bearing, or could it be as simple as the brake pads having a little movement?
Thanks

Maybe too easy for someone to generalise but, I've had failed front wheel bearings on a 2000 VW Passat 4Motion 5MT at maybe 9 years old and 65,000 miles, got both sides replaced, then my wife's 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI 110PS 6MT at 8 years old and 35,000 miles, I just replaced the front wheel bearings on both sides.

So, with most models of VW Group cars, wheel bearings starting to get noisy and so needing replaced is not rare or a new thing. My 2011 Audi S4 ended up with a failed front ABS wheel sensor back in January 25, the replacement ABS sensor, when I checked it after roughly 100 miles, is showing signs of being contacted/rubbed by the inner face of the wheel bearing and most probably at the mating point with the aluminium upright/steering knuckle - dissimilar metals issue I'd think, so that means that that front bearing while seeming fault free, needs to get investigated - and that means replacing it!

Edit:- with the 2000 VW Passat 4Motion, one of the front wheels was making droning noises basically at any speed both low and high, with the 2015 VW Polo 1.2TSI, it only made droning/whining noises at higher speeds - as tends to be the way with modern bearings, no "slackness" or wear was felt when trying to rock the wheels either with the weight of the cars on them or up in the air. The 2015 VW Polo wheel bearing, well one of them, showed signs of moisture/water having got into the bearing assembly, on that car probably only one side needed replacing, but I didn't want to mess about doing that job twice. Really the same for the 2000 VW Passat 4Motion, I asked the VW dealership to replace both sides just to put that problem completely to bed.
I never did manage to get any idea of which side was causing the noises on either car.

I’m keeping an eye on it currently , as today for example I did a lot less miles than normal and it made 0 noise at all, so I’m thinking it’s when metals warm up etc
