2000 suspension squeak

Hey all, can someone watch the video and tell me what this noise is. History: car has 115k miles, and I personally neglect all of the maintenance, so that I know I'm responsible for not doing it. I recently replaced the track arms and drop links in the rear, and bled the brakes while I was there. This noise showed up around that time, but I'm not sure if it's related as noise started about a month later. The pads, rotors, rear struts and all bearings are all old as hell, but not sure where to start.


The noise sound like seagulls on the passenger side, not sure if front or back. Is present as 5-35mph. Doesn't happen every time, but moreso lately, 80% of the time. Car being warm/cold has no bearing. Clutch in out has no affect. Brakes and ebrake have no effect. Turning, accelerating or decelerating have no effect. The video has me turning off engine and coasting in neutral from the 10second mark to the end, so not engine. Speed doesn't change the tempo or rhythm, but it does completely stop making the noise below 5mph. Above 40 it isn't audible, but might just be washed out by road and engine noises.

I sprayed lithium on all the new suspension parts and sway bar, no effect. I pressure washed the brake pads, no effect. If anything, after I sprayed lithium and washed the pads, it might be worse or more consistent.
