    Does the squealing change pitch with RPM?

    No.
    I drove 9 hours to FL. And never messed up. The next day drove 5 minutes and it started. The noise will be there with music playing and if left on the music will stop and that’s all you hear

    Is it all the factory equipment?

    Next time, see if you can pinpoint which speaker(s).

    I had a similar issue and it turned out my window metal was grounding out against the speaker, but mine was all aftermarket stuff and rewired from what the original was.

    It's possible a connector came loose. I'd take the panel off the door (guessing that's where your speakers are) once you isolate the place and make sure it's on there good.

    Otherwise, depending on the exact sound, you either have a bad speaker or the radio has a bad channel.

    Finally stopped and put my ear on the speaker but come to find out it’s coming from all the speakers. Any ideas

    Power could be grounding out behind the radio somewhere, or as mentioned, the unit itself has gone bad. Reading, and kinda helping here, I’ve found that a lot of factory headunits start to go in the 7-8 year range. Having said that, I’d start with tracing the wires that you can behind, and see if there’s a break.

    My surmise as well since it's not isolated to one speaker/side.
