Odds are you have a caliper slightly hanging up, or a pad/rotor issue.

Take the wheels off, remove the calipers and pads. Inspect and clean everything. Could be a glazed pad, a bad rotor, some brake dust buildup or other crud binding something up a little, or just brakes needing to be replaced. OEM pads aren't track pads.

I've never seen a wheel bearing 'squeak until warm'. Given the information provided, this is likely a brake issue.
