Default front wheel noise need a little help.

Hi all my front drivers side wheel has just started making a lot of noise quite high pitched and loud. Any ideas. It's not constant but when it does start the only thing that stops it is stopping.

Ones with tread. Been ok for the last 3 weeks just started today .

Discs and pads all have a lot of life

It does sound rotational but wouldn't say the pitch alters

I would say wheel bearing. Jack the car up and check for play in the wheel.

the noise has stopped today, could it strangely have anything to do with the weather, it was the first time i'd used it in the wet?
