Default Squeaking noise diving me CRAZY!

When I'm driving I hear a squeaking/squealing noise that is sppeds up as I go faster. I hear it the best on roads that can echo the noise. I can not get this noise to appear on video though. I've taken it to multiple shops who can not solve the problem. The one shop found a loose rear break pad which solved the squeaking while breaking but the car sqeaks now if I am not on the break at all or extremely light presure. The rear pads have good life but I was told they were not the best quality. I replaced the rotors, calipers, and put ceramic pads on the front last April and that is when the squeaking while breaking started. The day before though I spun out the car into the grass in the rain so I'm not sure if that could create this sound but the squeaking while driving only started in the Summer. I have 18" aftermarket wheels could that be contributing at all maybe a clearance issue? I had these installed slightly before the squeaking while driving started. Should I just take the car to Ford?

Sorry for the life story just wanted to be specific as possible.

Any advise is GREATLY appreciated

I wonder if it has anything to do with the drive shaft or transmission mount? Was there grass up underneath the car when you went off road? Can you be more specific about the noise? Does it sound like metal again metal, of metal/plastic, or?

I think grass may have gotton underneath, I slid on a slight grade up. It was enough to puncture the tires. I sounds like a chiping soung which is metal against metal.

Sliding on grass wont punture tires. Sounds like you hit something and now something is bent.

The tires were punctured because of the grass, it broke the seal.
