Any suspension work done recently? Does it happen mostly when its wet out? Does any of your suspension look worn? If you push down on the hood or trunk, does the car go down and bounce directly back to resting position or does it kinda bounce up and down once or twice extra before resting? Can you get the squeak to occur while stationary by turning the wheels back and forth?

Or, have you already confirmed its not the belts squeaking?

Lots of variables here, but my first guess would be worn strut bearings.

See if you can answer all those questions in my above post, way too little info for anyone to help.

My bumper used to do this... Sounded like absolute ****. The metal support that supports the bumper was bent and all messed up and the bumper squeaked like mad. Had it fixed and welded back when i did my lower radiator support

U gotta be more specific with this tho man! Is it squeaking on start up on accel on decel over bumps, on the strut bearings for sure though. Check ball joints lca bushings? Tirods? Even the rubber stopper on the hood can come off and cause a banging squeaky sound from the hood banging around. check sway bar links, bushings. Lots of things squeak and make noises be more speciffic
