Usually it's the pad sensor. It's a little metal tab that begins to come into contact with the brake rotor as the pad wears down. It's put there to squeak when the brake pads are getting low to let you know it's time to change them.
Most likely the brake shoe in that wheel is worn down to the rivets and those metal rivets are scraping on the drum. If you have a new brake shoe installed right away you will be ok. if you wait, you may also have to have the drums turned. By the way brake shoes come in pairs so they will change both front brake pads. Joe
Check condition of disc pads, replace if badly worn, Check any brake pad anti-rattle springs/clips are correctly fitted. If no problem can be found with the brakes, check condition and adjustment of wheel bearing especially if the vehicle has been driven in deep water. Check wheel attachment nuts - don't forget also to check for loose or damaged wheel dress rims etc.
