    Kind of sounds like a chair being dragged across a concrete floor or belt squeal. Located in the front driver's side and started happening when I would leave a light. Frequency and duration of the noise is now getting longer and I did hear it when rolling in slow moving traffic yesterday.

    Not feeling anything through the wheel. Thought my front calliper might be sticking as my recently new brakes are starting to pulsate a bit again.

    Any insight appreciated.
    Yarp or narp?

    Update. Had it into the dealership. They think it's a wheel bearing. (At 40,000km???).

    Anyway, it will be replaced under warranty...but wheel bearing is backordered because warranty period on wheel bearings was extended on 2009 and 2010 models.

    So i wait.
