For a while my car has had a weird squeak. It isn't really intermittent nor is it constant it seems random. I would imagine it's a wheel bearing because it sounds like a metal to metal grind almost like bad brakes. It doesn't follow the symptoms like increasing in volume with speed or loose steering like a wheel bearing usually does. My rear brakes are also tight and not allowing the rear wheels to freespin or spin with little resistance as they should.
I've had a couple people check and they say my wheel bearings in the front are getting bad but shouldn't be making noise.
Any ideas?

Bad wheel bearings make noise, but it's usually more of a rumble and the noise gets louder with higher speeds.
You could have some worn plastic bushings at several points, producing metal-on--metal contact. Or you could have an intermittently sticking brake caliper, which would produce squealing from metallic pads scraping the rotor. Inspecting the calipers and rotors would be determinative.
Brake issue, seems like it's telling you with caliper sticking
