Intermittently during the first 10 minutes of driving and only above 20km/h there is a squeak. The sound repeats faster with increased wheel speed, no change in pitch no sound at a stop, no change with acceleration or breaking gear or turning –just wheel speed. Belt and tire sounds are different from this squeak but I’ll spray the belt again anyways. I’m thinking wheel bearings but I was told that they were fine for now?

Wheel bearings will make a growling sound not a squeak, check the brakes, and if you have a hub cap with the screw on lock, take it off and go for a ride...
