I can hear this high pitch sound (actually sounds kind of like a mouse) while cruising around 15mph coming from the front tire area. I can't believe a mouse got stuck in there, haha. damn it where is my cat at. does anyone know what this might be? Could it be the ball joints?

How long since your wheel bearings have been greased? Also maybe your rotor.

Sounds like the wear indicator on your brake pads, or just the brake pads are making some noise. If your pads are thin, that'd be your indicator... Replace the pads and turn or replace the rotors. If the pads are nice and thick, I would take the brake pads off and scuff them with a die grind with a sanding pad on it. This can be caused by particals in the brake pad being caught in the very small grooves and dips in the pad. If that doesn't fix it, get some good pads(Bendix or Raybestous (sp)) and turn or replace the rotors.

I've never heard a wheel bearing squeel, only make a grinding sound from the bearings going bad.

Balljoints can squeek, but usually only over bumps or imperfections in the road.
