Need help identifying squeak sound when driving.
I have had this sound happening since I bought the car, but have noticed no issues with the car to cause concern. I'm trying to get it 100% before getting it out of the garage this year and wanted to ask if this is something I need to address. VIDEO

Sorry I dont hear anything either. Check your brakes lately? Could be Brake pad wear indicators? They have a high pitched squeal/squeak at slow speeds.

I did hear it both times. It's high pitch and brief but no way to tell where it is coming from on the video. Is it front or rear?

I honestly have no idea. Sounds like rear if I had to take a guess. I can hear it when pushing it in neutral with the car off too.
To all others that watched and tried, thanks. I honestly don't know if it's an issue, but thought i would ask. Thanks

Possible u-joint. They dry out and need replaced eventually.

Dried out u-joints, hub spacer (Teflon washer), or warped rotor contacting pad wear indicators.
