My Sierra has just started making a squeaking noise when ever
I take my foot off the accelerator. I push the accelerator and the
Noise goes away. It doesn't make the noise at idle either.
Does anyone know what it could be?

is it related to the wheel speed, or just random??

if its related to wheel speed, could be worn brakes or something in the brakes, mayyybe wheel bearings.

if its random, could be worn bushes in the leaves, or the leaves themselves squeaking.

???

Worn or broken engine/gearbox/transfer mounts is a possibility, too.
A loose exhaust could do it, too.

Try to get a taping of the noise for people with good ears to help you.

It's going to be hard to record a noise because
It only happens when driving. The noise sounds
Similar to when you run on a indoor basket ball
Court and it makes that squeking noise when you
Are wearing joggers

Give us an idea of where the noise is coming from, front, middle or rear. So far it could be anything

uni joints can sieze on one axis, without showing any play.
Is uni joint getting hot? Particularly on one axis

Don't know I will have to check. Is there a specific
Uni I should be looking at? There are a few under there.

The rear rear gets most use, but check all.
Be careful, I burn't my fingers checking mine once

Another one to check if it squeeks when driving only is the speddo cable. My sierra had an annoying as hell squeek when driving and it was the cable. $10 for one off ebay and its is a 10 minute fix.
