Beep/squeak while decelerating

I have a transient squeak/beep noise that occurs when slowing to about 20mph. This is consistent every time while decelerating. I originally thought this was a brake issue, but it happens when slowing down even without applying the brakes. Sounds like it's coming from the front of the car. Maybe a belt issue? Any ideas?

Do you have the PDR, if you do try and record it.

it could be the belt, a video of it would help

Thanks, I just made a YouTube video of it here. You have to really turn your speakers up to catch it, though, as it is high pitched. Brief but noticeable squeak at 17 mph, 18 mph, 18 mph, 17mph, and 17mph at each deceleration with and without braking.

Couldn't hear it, but my hearing isn't as great as it used to be

No idea. It happens every time I decelerate with brakes or without. Crazy. I'm going to wait until my next oil change for the dealer to try to figure it out.
