Default My JK Squeals

I just picked up my Rubi last Saturday and now have about 600 miles on her. The first 300 miles, I drove with the windows up, but then I rolled them down and noticed that I have two squeals. So far, I've isolated it to this:

- There's a squeal that I think is coming from the brakes. It's only noticeable below 10 mph, and as I drop below 5 mph, it goes up in pitch sharply, then suddenly disappears. It happens even if I'm idling in neutral and seems to depend only on speed.

- The engine sometimes squeals when I give it any gas. It doesn't have to be in gear or moving. It's not the same as the whistle that happens at 2200 rpm. This one is loud, sounds a lot like a slipping belt, and happens at any rpms above idle.

Does anybody else have these squeals? I didn't see any TSBs for anything like this.

Thanks,
Joel
