Loud Squeaking From Front Of Car? (09 Fiesta Titanium)

I've been getting a loud squeak at low (0-25) speeds, seems to stop once you get past 30 but it's starting to get very annoying when meandering through traffic! Is anyone else getting similar to this? You can hear it from inside the cabin with the windows shut but once you open the windows it's much more noticeable.

I've uploaded a recording of the sound here:- http://audioboo.fm/boos/220909-fiesta-squeak

    It sounds like a wheel bearing but it could also be the pads rubbing on the disc even when the brakes are fully released.

    Sadly I haven't been able to suss out where it's coming from either yet. :(
