Need help with odd sound

I have a 03 that has started to make a "weep weep" sound at low speeds 10-35mph. It almost sounds like something rubber squeaking. The dealership checked it out and removed the drive shaft and checked all the joints. The odd thing is that is doesn't seem to change in frequency with speed that I can tell.

I was hoping that someone else has had a similar problem or had an answer.

worn brakes maybe don't know if these trucks have a warning tab to warn of low brake pads.

Mine had a similar sound at low speed and it turned out to be the front driver side caliper not retracting all the way. They replaced a boot, cleaned everything up and chamfered the brake pads. No more noise.

Thanks for the inputs. I am taking it back to the shop today and have them check it over again. I will ask to have the brakes checked a bit closer this time.
