Squeaking from truck

Ok just needing info, am I about to have any major issues as my truck is making a loud rhythmic squeaking noise when I move at any speed that is lower then what the speedometer will register (5mph or less) should I be concerned about the noise? It only occurred when I'm at very slow parking lot speeds

No Info on your Truck listed.

Hubs as well make such sounds that will turn to grinding. Often silencing when turning at low speeds.

May be I'm blind! Dammed if I see anything like that. Is it a 4WD or 2WD?

Any luck in narrowing down the noise? Has it increased any?
