Brake dust?
My garage suggested a bit of hard braking to shift it, or drive along in 2nd and brake with the left foot keeping the foot on the gas pedal.
Not sure how good this is for other components of the car though.

Sure it isnt back brakes?

This could be caused by pad design, sometimes they glaze over on the front pads and cause squealing. Also it can be vibration of the pad in the front calipers, to prevent this small metal backing shims are fitted behind the pads. It's annoying but probably harmless. If they were down to the metal you would notice a nasty grinding noise and lack of stopping power.
