Can anyone identify what this squeak is?

This noise is something that has been plaguing my car, and I can't identify the source. I just watched this video:


and I can hear the exact same squeak throughout the whole thing. It almost sounds like a panel rubbing or vibrating somewhere inside the cabin, anyone dealt with this already and have some input?

If its the original hood latch system put a couple of wraps of black electricians tape around the hood part and see if it goes away! Worked on mine!

The hood rests on 4 black rubber bumpers. Clean the points of contact and apply a small amount of silicone grease to each.

I've had a major squeak problem in the hatch area for YEARS and I finally found last week what was the problem. I just put some lube in the hatch latch. That's it, simple as that.
