lol my car makes some weird a*s sounds as well. But as long as my idle is alright and the ride is smooth, I don't strees over it, although I can't figure out "my squeek". lol

Try a goodyear gatorback belt.
I had a squeal I thought was comming from the middle or back of car. I bought a new belt and it was still there. I replaced it with a gatorback and the squeal stopped.

Did it sound similar to my noise or was it more of a belt squeal? When were you hearing the noise?

It did'nt sound at all like the belt but my buddy insisted it was. The belt was the easiest thing to change thats why I tried it twice.
I really only heard it on the 2-3 upshift, I have an auto btw.
For 30 bucks its worth a shot.
Heres a store locator, enter auto parts and zip.

np
Just letting you know not to rule out the belt.

It would also help to know if it is rpm specific or mph specific.

It's definitely not rpm specific. It is usually at very low speed, just when I start moving. It could relate to mph, though. It the video, you hear the noise, then a pause, and then the noise again but more briefly. Sometimes I hear that, then another pause, and then a few more chirps of the sound.
I have heard it in 2nd a very rare few times, but only at low speed and not nearly as loud as when just starting to move in first.
