Noticed when closed door that heard a squeak noise, does intermittently. Is this an animal squeak or something to do with the door itself? Not sure if anyone will be able to tell but in linking clips of the noise.

It sounds electronic? The car can still be off and the speakers are used for warning chimes etc. Can you have a helper put there ear by one of the speakers to see if that's where the noise is coming from?

Okay, I would use WD40 were the door detent is located, it must be dry metal on metal which makes the noise. (Door Jam)

Okay and another question I asked in a different thread yesterday if u can answer it. It’s regarding a mourning dove that keeps sitting on my car. I just wanted to know if they can cause any actual damage. I just noticed he keeps returning to my car every few days primarily on the wipers or windshield corner and appears to just be sunbathing but idk much about their behavior
