Default Acceleration Sound Question

Folks, quick question as I've got a bit of a steady squeak sound on acceleration with the JK. It's not so much a squeal, but when I'm on the accelerator it sounds like one long squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak. Not so bad it's driving me nuts, but year. You can see from the sig what I've got...I HAD an Airaid and thought maybe that's what it was, but I don't think so anymore. Thanks for what you can tell me.

Yeah, and I've searched on here, but it seems like it's all CAI guys having the issue...by the way, I'm an auto, what are you?

May just have to live with it.

Mines manual and it's done that since day one in 2008. I only really notice it when I'm in a tunnel or next to a concrete wall with the windows down. Long high pitched squeal under acceleration. Doesn't matter what gear I'm in.

When the top is off it sounds like it's coming from the rear. Rear driveline universal joint maybe?

Dealer checked it over and didn't find anything loose or worn.
