That's funny, I wonder what could be causing my squeal then. Looks like
I'll have to do some more investigating. Perhaps I'll crack open my drums
to make sure they're ok in there. The noise sure sounds like it's coming
from the front though, but you can never be too sure with squeals I guess.
I'll keep everyone updated.
