Have you tried spraying some lubricant on that bolted connection up top?

It's clearly a metallic 'squeak', I'd think a bit of lubricant would take care of it.

Try a good shot of WD-40.

Maybe a shot of chain lube or Spray grease that comes out thin and Thickens after drying?

Or Drislide, it will last longer than WD-40.

Now you got me curious if this is the rear end noise I’ve been hearing lately. I’ll give the WD-40 a shot tomorrow and repot back with some news

I would advise against WD-40. It's not really a "lubricant" as much as it is a water displacer, solvent and rust dissolver. Common misconception that it is a true lubricant. So while the squeak will go away at first, it will likely come back fairly quickly.

Use a dedicated silicone spray lubricant, like what PB Blaster offers or similar.

Just checked and turns out my rear bumper isn’t making any weird noises. I’ll try to get a vid of this damn noise that I’ve been hearing lately... *sighs* I really hoped this would’ve been the solution lol
