Some cars have a tab on the disk brake pads that touch the brake rotor when the pad is worn down. Jack up the squealing corner and give the wheel a spin. 

A slipping belt on a generator or alternator can also do this. We the battery is recharged after starting, the drag by the charging system stops and the belt stops slipping.

Power steering can also do this; easiest to check by turning the wheels to full lock with the car just sitting there with motor running.

I recently heard a front end noise whenever the car moved that sounded like a loud violin.  it was a high pitched squeal.  Then it went away.

The alignment is off and I had a tire recently replaced.

Any ideas?  All help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Does it sound like this??


If so the answers probably lie in the comments section of the video...
