Strange squeak
When I open my door first thing in the morning, right as I open the latch there is a squeak in the rear tire well area. I'm sure it's something charging up, fuel pump, etc.
It's just kind of annoying and I'd like to lube, fix, repair.
I've attached a video.
Anyone know the possible culprit? Might have to turn up the sound a bit.

To me, it sounds like a faint "chirp" (only a single chirp, not the normal double) from locking the doors. Not sure what's going on there.
But, the good news is that you have very fresh tires from the 37th week of 2016!

Yes tires seem great
I originally thought it was the exhaust valve opening up for start up, but there is so much going on back there who knows.
Interesting that whatever it is is timed to happen when the door latch opens.

Do you have Enter & Drive? A lot of stuff starts to wake up once the cars knows it's going out to play.

I went out to my car and didn't hear the same noise but during the same sequence like in your video my window lowers. Could it be a squeak from the window mechanism or a rubber to glass squeak?
Lower your window and do this again and see if it goes away.

No, just the regular key.
It only happens one time and only after it's been sitting a while (like overnight). If I drive around and get in and out during the day it doesn't happen.
