Dave, you got a sweet deal!

I have never experienced brake howl. Stuck caliper or no stuck caliper. They make a scratchy noise if they're dragging, and of course they can squeal too, but there is no brake howling in my experience. My bet is wheel bearing.

With the wheel off the ground (important jack test), spin the front wheels. Bearing noise is a faint rumbling rattling. It will not be smooth, but rather like there is grit in the bearing.
