Squealing metal on metal sound

My 2014 X1 35I has just turned 40k mi. Yesterday I started hearing a loud squeal from the right front suspension/brake area. Sometimes it gets louder if I turn to the left, other times it increases when I turn to the right. Usually when I hit the brakes it subsides. Does not appear dependent on speed. I tried disabling TC but nothing changed. Motor performance is unchanged, as is steering feel and braking. But the sound is terrible. Sounds like something lodged in the brake disc/ backing plate area. Any similar experiences? What were solutions? I'm unable to take wheels off until I get home (about 100 mi.).

Thanks

check that brake shield plate on the inner side of the wheel. My 428 had that happen on the rear brakes but it only made a noise intermittently. Maybe you hit a rock or something and bent that plate toward the brake disk

Thanks. Appears to have been brake shield. I was able to knock a stone out from somewhere and noise went away.
