Loud squeaking/Squealing noise from front wheel

Disclaimer: So I had a service appointment scheduled for tomorrow anyways and already called to ask them to look into this when I bring it in. I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue.

While driving into work...right before getting on the highway I start to hear this loud squealing noise. I realize it's my car and it's coming from the driver's front tire. It get's louder the faster I go (I noticed when getting on the highway).

I pulled off at the next exit and started testing the brakes. The noise does get quieter when I apply the brakes but does not entirely go away. Called BMW Dealer and they thought it sounded like rust or some sort of debris in the brakes.

I tried doing one or two harder stops (couldn't do anything real drastic as there was traffic and it is wet out) and it didn't remedy the problem. Anyone else have this issue?

I do.
I just live with it til i get new brake.
BMW told me to bring it in for full inspection after I paid for brake cleaning as SA suggest which did not fix the issue (no refund)

It sounds like you have a stone or some other object stuck between the rotor and backing plate.
