Default Squeaking when I turn the car off.

Hey guys, I noticed when I turn the car off there is a slight squeaking noise. Does anyone know what this could be from? It happens when it's running too sometimes. Thanks!

It's usually louder than this.

Assuming manual tranny? Depressing clutch when turning car off?

I usually keep it in first when I park that way just in case the ebrake ever fails.

Try depressing the clutch when turning the car off and see if it goes away.

I guess I should have said it your way.
OP, at exactly what point are you hearing the noise? If on shut off, turn car off with clutch fully pushed down.
As for parking, 1st gear is great. I never use my parking brake unless on a worthwhile incline.

I'll check as soon as I get off work, if it does what could it be?
