Rob's right, probably a stone that got trapped against a brake disc.

I had this happen on my E46 a month ago while it was up for sale, and the screeching metallic noise was so horrendous I thought it was something terminal for a few seconds. Then I realised what it must be (not the first time I've had it happen) and deliberately drove over some lump bumpy bits in the road (not difficult around here) which shook it loose.
