Question Very distinctive squeak coming from the car

Had the window down today for the first time in ages and I could hear a consistant squeak coming from the car. It was only present when moving (seems to be at any speed), so I know its not engine related. I'm thinking it maybe a wheel bearing on the way out. Anyone had something similar? Car is an MY01, which has done 56K miles.

If only it was I wouldn't mind!

Few more details: the pitch of the sound doesn't seem to vary with speed. It seems to present from very low speeds. It's harded to tell as you go quicker, but I can certainly still hear it at about 60 mph. Wheel bearing is the only thing I can think of at the moment. If anyone else has some suggestions, then please post them up.

Doesnt mean its not engine- might only make noise under load?
Does sound like a wheel bearing though....
Can you tell if its coming from one side or not?
