Chirping sound from drivers side front tire
So late last night driving home a piece of hard plastic fell out of the truck in front of me and I hit it 
Since then there has been a chirping sound (sounds like crickets) coming from my drivers side wheel. I would like to think it's the brakes rubbing? But I figured I would ask here if anyone has had a similar problem.
Thanks everyone!

Did you check to see if anything is stuck in your tread?

Have you check you brake pads lately, when they get worn out an extension on the backing plate can scrape the rotor.
To check the wheel bearing jack up that side of the car and holding the wheel at the 6 and 12 oclock position move it in and out. bad wheel bearing will give you a small slide in the play. A good bearing will not move.
