Can you only duplicate the sound when driving it?

Might try taking off the serp belt and see if it makes any difference. See if you can narrow down where it's coming from interior(vac line?) or engine compartment exhaust etc..

You probably going to have to do some research to find that one. My guess right off hand would be a front disk brake squeal. A bad brake hose might be an issue. One check would be to see if either of the front rotors are a bit blue, or if your steering tends to track to the left or right when you take your hands off the steering wheel.
