Squeak front right wheel area, need some more advice.

I have what sounds like a plastic type squeak on our new M235. The sound increased in frequency and a bit louder with increased rotational speed. Stock suspension OEM 624M wheels. I took the wheel off nothing appears to be rubbing and no stones etc in the tire. It almost sounds like the squeak on a basketball court with shoes.

If you can have a listen at the 7 second and 11 second mark. I will take the wheel off again and have a look but not sure where else to lool.

Also it only happens when the wheel is straight and not on turning. I read a lot about some suspension related squeak on turning.

Audio Clip.

Turn the wheel tire assembly with the engine off. Then turn brake disc by hand engine off. If noise only happens w/engine running could be ABS - example guess.

Ok I tested this, hoisted the car up, with the car off I spun the wheel no clicking noise. So you think it could be related to the ABS?

does sound electrical so ABS is just an ignorant guess.
I'll chk my car for the noise - could it be a diagnostic self test -

The squeak ended up being related to the manufacturer ticker that was left inside the tire, it was near the bead of the tire. Took a few hours to get to the root of the problem. They took apart the breaks first before moving onto dismounting the the tire. Thanks for all the help.

STICKER ?
That's funny.
But reassembling the brakes was the right thing to do. I once had a similar complaint on a Mercedes and the dealer wouldn't pull the pads to check - I did the work and it was a misaligned pad.
