So, I have noticed that it has developed an utterly annoying plasticly squeakily loud noise/sound and, as with sounds generally, it can be difficult to locate exactly where it comes from especially when driving...

I think it comes from the front somewhere, and only when the car is moving (not when idling at any RMP) over the smallest of road bumps. There is nothing lose of my own stuff in the car (storage is not great as it is) and it's not the seats and/or steering column either.

I have added two .MP4's here (Google Drive) where it's quite clear what it sounds like - IT'S DRIVING ME UTTERLY MAD!!!!

Any ideas what this may be causing this and/or if anyone have had the same issue before?

Thanks @LexVan - You seem to pop up, all over the place, at all the right moments :-)

I have my car booked in with Porsche in a few weeks time for some upgrades to be made and also added this to the list. Hopefully they will be able to sort it out, as it seems to be a few things I could be, and not that uncommon.

This said, most of the posts I found were pretty much around hot weather and/or low/half empty/full petrol tanks. Typical Central European weather here (+2C to +14C) and I have the 90 litre tank mostly full at all times (not driven much so far this year or actually since i got the car, mid November 2020)

Quick Update: My Local OPC have now seen/heard the videos I took, and seems like they know what's causing it so it will be attend and fixed when I bring the car over to them in 12 days time...

UPDATE: My OPC fixed the squeaking annoyance first time around (sort off) and all was good until a few days after I got the car back. The noise had returned with a vengeance. Did another recording, and my OPC took the car in again last Friday.

So, Porsche told me it would take a few hours to fix and I would be able to pick up the car the very same day which was fine by me. Got a phone call a few hours later and wa told that it would take longer than initially anticipated and that they needed a few more days to fix the problem...
Monday passed and got a phone call today (Tuesday) telling me that the car finally is ready for pick-up...
