Default High pitched 'brake-like' sound emitting from rear wheel when...

I make a left turn at low speeds. Could this also be a wheel bearing even though wheel bearings commonly make 'moan-like' sounds? It almost sounds like it could be a rotor and caliper rubbing. What oh what could this sound be? Thx in advance.

Default Mine does that too when..

turn right. just a little squeak squeak, gets on my nerves though. I think it is brake related.

Default I'm taking it to my tech sometime this week, car only has 55k on it..

so I have to assume the previous owner drove the car rather aggressively during that time. No signs of upgrades and the VIN doesn't report accidents or collisions. I just think it's rather premature for me to start replacing wheel bearings at 55k.
