Default (video) high pitched noise

wtf could be causing such a high pitched noise??? suspension component? i am taking the car to honda on friday and am going to be pretty pissed if i spend 150 dollars for a "diagnosis" and they can't even find the noise. i've been pushing around and cannot replicate it. turn the volume up as the sound is not super prominent. thanks...

it could be your brakes, or the rubber bushings to the suspension

but if its coming from the rear it could be your dif going bad/blown
or your wheel bearing is going bad/is bad

but i never really heard that kinda sound before.
do you know where it is coming from?
cause then it will be pretty easy to identify then

I honestly don't know man. I'll occasionally hear something similar when I hit a sharp bump or something, but nothing near as bad as yours. I really never noticed it at all until I changed my suspension and lowered the car, but it's so rare that I don't really worry about it. That is why I asked if you have the stock suspension though. Wish I could help. GL
