A squeaking noise when traveling over 40 mph could be due to several factors. Common causes include worn brake components, such as pads or rotors, which can create noise at higher speeds. Additionally, it might be related to loose or worn suspension parts, such as bushings or struts, that become more pronounced at increased velocities. Lastly, tire issues, like uneven wear or low pressure, can also lead to squeaking sounds while driving.

All what I can say is; I realise this noise around in the age of 6-8 in night while I go to sleep. At that time I thought this was the noise of insects and water boilers noise. It doesn't bother me. After that age I didn't have that. Now I am 58. About a year continuously more loudly and day and night I do hear. It doesn't hinder my work or my movement.
