Wheel bearing? Rear diff?

Just noticed today a high pitch squeak coming from the rear of the car when driving. It’s not during breaking or turning, just regular low speeds. I tried to get a video but it’s not loud enough for the video to pick up. Seems to come and go as I drive. No other symptoms. Any ideas? Rear diff bearing? Wheel bearing?

Also just noticed the pitch stays consistent as I accelerate and decelerate. Does not change with vehicle speed but seems to go away at higher speeds.

I've been experiencing the same thing I think. It usually happens when I first start driving and then goes away after about mile or two. Haven't heard it the past week or so though

A little update. I forgot the other day I drove down a gravel road and it may be a rock. Can anyone who has had a rock stuck between the brake shield confirm if it’s ever made a high pitch squeal while driving? I tried prying the shield back to shake it loose but can’t seem to shake it out. No jack to use either.

Yes I get that sometimes if I have a rock stuck in the brake shield. How much have you driven since the gravel road?

Maybe 3-4 days of daily commute driving. The squeal has stopped but as I drive past things close to me I can still hear something is in there.
