Check shoebox on floor behind passenger seat and make sure there is no mouse in it.

A little more info may help you get an educated response.

LMAO @Pathfound.

But he's right. Any area in particular? Front, Mid, Back, Left, Right, Up, Down? While Braking? While Driving?

Ha Ha I ran into that one, anyway I'm thinking it's possibly the lower trailing arms. I know the bushings wear out in them, I have already replaced the upper trailing arms. Also could it possibly be the shocks or struts going bad since the noise is not constant just ocassionally??

One annoying squeak that I've found is the exhaust hanger at the muffler. The bracket that's welded to the muffler has a tendency to make contact against the frame rail causing a rattle/squeaking sound. Mechanically, I haven't run into anything of note.
