Default high pitched chirping???

I'm getting a high pitched chirping noise when I'm driving. It's not real loud, but it's annoying. I've checked my sway bars and they're tight. any ideas?
it sounds like it's coming from the back of my Jeep, but I'm not sure. it's random and doesn't matter what speed.
any ideas???

Check your brake rotors, may be a rock stuck in the calipers

Could be the neighbors missing ferret nesting in your spare.

no, I had thought about that too. it stays until I get down to about 10 mph.
I'm wondering if it's coming from the drive shaft???

yeah, the boot is good. that's what's throwing me off. I wasn't expecting noise with grease still in it.

I already checked that. and it does not go away whe nbraking either. I guess I was wondering if the drive shaft could be making noise with the boot still intact?
