Question Squeaky noise when I first take off

Ever since I came back from the dealership, I hear a small squeaky noise when I take off. It is definitely coming from my tire area because as I accelerate the noise does too....I only hear it when I turn the car on and drive away, especially if I am turning a hard right or left. It only lasts about 4-5 seconds and then disappears...but this is new.

It's not my brake pads, I just had my service done and those had plenty of pad left.

Any other ideas?

Could be right, but wouldn't they have caught that in the service?

They may not have caught it. Would take car back to dealer and drive it with a tech. I have done that when I have heard an unusual noise on my car.

I wanted to just close the loop on this....as usual, the sound stopped 1 day before my appt at the dealership, but took it anyway.

I didn't want to believe the guy, but he said most likely it was a small pebble that got in there somewhere and was trying to work itself out. They kept it for the day, had 2 guys check it out and nothing there. The noise has not returned, so I think he was right....cost me nothing...so that's cool.
