Jerald, In my opinion, this looks and sounds like mechanical noise, not biological.
There’s an old sign hanging from a building in my neighborhood which makes distinctive squeaks on windy nights. This sounds very similar to your sound, which could be coming from something like that or from a door hinge, etc. Just my take on it.
