Default Help dx'ing a squeal

Hey peoples!

I am brand spankin' new to the Hummer brand. Bought my first 2006 H3 last Friday and lovin' it. This morning I went through a drive-thru and noticed a squeal echoing off the building. It sounded like letting the air out of a balloon by pinching the stem.

When we got home, I asked the wife to drive it around the block. When she backed out, no squeal. When she started driving forward, squeal. It wasn't real loud, but I could hear it until she stopped at the end of the road. When she came back around, it wasn't doing it.

I checked the brake pads and they're fine. I've been Googling and YouTube'ing all day and everything I can find doesn't discribe my situation or if it's a video, it doesn't sound like the sound mine is making.

Does anyone have any suggestions what it could be and/or a fix?

Thanks!
