I was driving for an hour at highway speeds (50mph), when I started smelling burning rubber for a couple minutes, and then the burning smell disappeared but a high pitched squealing happened.
The squealing happens when travelling >40mph, and is dependent on vehicle speed. If I put it in neutral while going 40+mph it still squeals, and if I rev it while stationary, it doesn't squeal.
I checked the belts and they're pretty good, any guesses for what is going on?
I'm suspecting a wheel bearing or CV joint, but the noise only appears when going +40 mph

Your engine sounds like an autist, OP. kYS.

If it has anything to do with the belts you'd notice it in lower speeds because of the rpms going up as you shift, so try blasting your car in first gear and see if it squeaks, that'll tell you a decent amount of info. Or your brakes, check those too

Then if that doesn't make any squeaks it's probably what you said, wheel compents

So I got it checked by AAA this morning but the sound disappeared, and they said the bushings, bearings, ball joints, brake pads/rotors, and suspension were all good.
So no idea of what happened; my suspicion is maybe a plastic piece of bumper from the front got loose and was scraping at higher speeds
