Sounds like a bed squealing... not a lot of noise but can be heard when radio is off.... I have the extended warranty but not sure if I should take it in or figure out the problem myself first... I don't want them to be like " there is nothing wrong with your vechile blah blah blah...

Couple things that I had happen to me recently:
First squeak - bearable but there was a ujoint which only happened on one side when I turned.
Ujoint finally went and turned into a crunch.
Replaced the ujoint and it was fixed.
Another symptom was that it felt a little jerky when I turned, the steering wheel did not return smoothly.
Other recent squeak - only when I was turning, passenger side, the rubber protector on the brake line was rubbing on the shock when I turned. This is only because I installed bilstien shocks and they are a lot bigger then stock.
Tempory fix - put a dab of lubricant between the line and the shock.
Then go get a brake line relocation bracket.
