2013 Astra high pitched whining noise.

I have a 131 Astra and have noticed a very peculiar high pitched whining noise coming from the front of the car over the course of the last week or so. The noise isn't continuous. I have to drive for 15 mins or so and you will hear it then for 30 seconds or so, on or off. If I hit brakes, it stops and it seems to happen…

I have a 131 Astra and have noticed a very peculiar high pitched whining noise coming from the front of the car over the course of the last week or so. The noise isn't continuous. I have to drive for 15 mins or so and you will hear it then for 30 seconds or so, on or off. If I hit brakes, it stops and it seems to happen most often after I take a few corners or a roundabout. I have heard it after driving along the motorway at 120kph too on one occasion. Any ideas what it could be?

Note that I have checked the brake pads, as I thought it may be friction, if they are wasted but they have loads left on them both.

Should there not be buffeting/shaking if it is the wheel bearing? There is none for the record.
