new squeaking noise, where to start
i left school today and as i started to drive a squeaking noise started and at about 20 mph it stopped, then i stopped again and it did the same thing, then the third time i stopped it didnt do it. i was just driving normal. anybody have any idea what it could be? anyone else ever have this problem. sorry i'm so vague but i dont know how else to describe it.

When you live in a colder climate area like you do it's normal to hear the car squeek when it's cold and then stop as it warms up a little from driving. Usually it's struts or bushings in the suspension that do it. If it really bothers you, you could try spraying a silicone lubricant over the bushings and see if that helps. The water from the road will eventually wash it away though. Most people just learn to ignore it around this time of year.

the squeaking wasnt like a squeak squeak squeak it was just a constant, squeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkk up until about 20 or 30 mph then it stopped. it was pretty loud too. i dont think it was the suspension squeaking.

check your brakes. Make sure the backing plates on the front aren't touching the rotors and make sure your rear brakes are releasing properly. When you're driving try taping the brakes to see if it stops the squeek or not. It could also be a hrad spot in one of your front pads or a little bit of rust etc..
