Chirp - Squeak - Squeal ?

[Pistoloni]

Lately once parked I have noticed this sound happening that you hear in the video. Its not there on start-up, but will notice it after my commute to or from work. Not sure what to check or what the cause might be. Currently have 72k miles on it

Sounds like it's caused by an heat shield rubbing on the exhaust.

It does sound more metallic than a belt squeak

Read this thread and check the bracket shown for weld cracks at the bend of the down pipe from the engine. you may need to wiggle the pipe a little because sometimes the crack is hard to see. Hopefully that is all that it is since it is an easy fix .

Unfortunately doesn't seem to be it. I looked at the weld, it still looks good. Tried to move it and it was all solid.
