Annoying high pitched sound coming from the front driver's side of the car...

Ok ever since a few days ago, I've been getting this annoying high-pitched screeching coming from the front driver's side of my car. It increases and decreases with RPM, I have no ikdea what it is? Anyone have an idea or had a similar problem?

Would a wheel bearing make that sound in neutral?
