I have an intermittent squealing sound that is driving me crazy. I have narrowed it down by process of elimination. It only happens when the car is moving however it is not a belt as the engine can be shut off and noise is still there. I have had the brakes done. The wheel bearings have been checked. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

It is practically impossible to diagnose a noise from cyberspace. Can you be more specific?

It is very hard to tell where the sound is coming from. Could be the rear axle but sometimes it sounds like the front axle. I have had a BMW mechanic look at it and they are equally confused. It has been less often latley however. The reason it is hard to pin point is it won't squeel when it is on a hoist.
