Squeal from rear end

Need help identifying a noise from the rear end of my 2018 F250 xlt gas with about 55k miles. I will hopefully be able to attach a link to a video but basically I have a rotational squeak from the rear. I hear it low speeds and primarily only during slight acceleration. Does not seem to be associated with braking. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like a U-joint. Frequency seems driveshaft speed.

I take it you don't see anything hanging down on the driveshaft like insulation/heat shielding?

Have a similar noise going over bumps and finally found it to be the little pad between the leaf springs. Worth a look, will take mine to the dealer to fix under warranty some time.

Spring insulator.

On my 2011 I had a similar problem. Turned out to be the internal parking parts falling apart. Not all the time and sometime very loud, sometimes barely audible.

I was having a noticeable squeal/whistle/chirping sound coming from the middle of my truck between 5-10 mph. I narrowed down the location after rolling downhill in neutral with engine off and the sound was not affected by applying the brakes. I had the Transfer Case Output Shaft Seal replaced...fixed the issue...
