Seems that I have a squeaking in my wheels somewhere, or my axles. When going at a slow speed, I can hear creaking (sounds like a bunch of happy mice!) that is amplified when I'm next to a wall. It goes away when I go above 15mph, but I think it's only because of the speed.

Anyone have ideas?

Thanks!

Possibly just mud and grime? Get in there with a power washer first to make sure it isn't something that simple.

Do you have rear drums? There are springs inside that break and drag inside the drum, squealing like crazy, going faster than 15mph drowns out the noise. Been there, both sides broke at nearly the same time, brakes seemed to work OK still.

is the sound coming from the front or rear of the vehicle? I won't even bother with the possibilities untill we know that-could be suspension stuff too folks...
