I'm sure it's fine, really. Sooorrrryyy...

edit: Wheel bearings don't make a high-pitched noise. They more growl when they're gone. If you've ever driven on cupped tires it sounds very similar.
Now, see what you did, there Ultramaroon ........

@Mattstermh like @Ultramaroon says, a bad wheel bearing will usually "growl" if they are bad. You can usually make a bad wheel bearing make noise by driving down the center of a road at around 30 mph and turn the wheel back and forth so the car moves from one side of the road to the other.

But my money is still on the front differential, most likely a left spider gear bushing. However, I'll ask @Ultramaroon elaborate on that.
