it feels like this very high faint pitched metal squeak right when the rear wheels hit a bump or a rough part of the road. suspension wise the car drives and operates as normal but the squeak is just a bit annoying. my mechanic said something probably needs lubing under there so im going to wait until an oil change to have it looked. any ideas?

I get high pitched squeeks going over speed bumps, front and back. Needing to figure this out too. I hear sway bar bushings sometimes mentioned.

mines only rear, and i believe its probably something maybe loose or dry and needs lubing. theres no rattle just a faint metal squeak on bumps/rough roads. suspension wise the car drives normal as my friend has tested driving it as well

Usually it's the exhaust hanger springs that support the midpipe.

i do have stock exhaust my car is a 08 base. its probably getting old lol. is it ok to leave it? i dont really mind unless it has to be fixed. the squeak is faint. but when i do get an oil change what can i tell my mechanic?

and i think your right about exhaust hanger springs, i looked up a video on youtube about it and noticed the exact same metal high pitch squeak

It's just an annoyance and is fine to leave it.

Dry lube will temporarily quiet it. People have tried wrapping the springs with various things but at the end of the day, it's just as easy to go buy the part. Years ago the hanger was something like $20. No idea what it costs these days. With the car on a lift or jack stands it takes 5 minutes to remove and replace.
