Default squeaky rear

hi all,

my car has been making a funny squeaking noise from the rear passenger side, it sounds like a squeaky door hinge opening and closing. the sound is directly proportional to how fast the car is moving. I've made a quick video to record the sound as I drive it through some streets:

the sound is most clear at 0:19, 1:22 to 1:30, 1:45 to 1:56, and 2:05 to 2:24. I would appreciate it if anyone could help diagnose this problem! could this be the wheel bearing hub issue I keep reading about? the sound comes regardless of whether I am applying brakes or not, and seems only get quicker/louder as I accelerate.

Mine does the same thing. I think it may be the rear axle nuts. I'm going to try tightening them tomorrow. Hopefully it fixes the problem.
