Sorry scheduled to go in the 10th.
OK ,DROPPED OFF THIS MORNING .They are replacing rear calipers and rotors .
That's where they think the noise is coming from.
I also told them to do a complete service drain all fluids transfer case ,front rear diff.
I mentioned to look for any possible metal shavings and replace with synthetic .

Hopefully they fix it for you (and maybe for us too lol)

I have the same issue, comes and goes with NO obvious cause. I do not use the parking brake, ever. To me it sounds like something in the suspension. It does get worse if I articulate the suspension, like going over an obstacle. Then it slowly goes away over several minutes.

You should stay with conventional in the diffs, synthetic gear oil does not cool the gears as well.

Mine does in the winter due to the brakes just barely starting to rust when it sits for a few weeks. But, then it warms up and hushes.

OK ,just picked up the truck from dealer.
They replaced the rear pads,rotors and rear calipers - lubed and cleaned slides to eliminate the chirping noise.So far no noise but I listen to 70s rock and roll at an elevated volume .

I dropped mine off a few weeks ago. Got it back 5 days later. I was told the brakes were glazed and that was causing it but nothing mechanically wrong. I took it back in this week. It's not normal and I want it fixed while truck still under warranty. They've had my truck for a week now this time around with no updates.

Going on 2 weeks since I dropped my truck off. At least they rented me a minivan. Drop off a truck, get a minivan (sigh).

I’ve given up. It squeaks pretty much every time I park it. Quits shortly after I start driving. It’s a rotational squeak coming from wheels. I just got tired of going back to dealer and have accepted it as being a jeep thing. I’m pretty sure at dealer, they clean the rotors and spray it with something which temporarily stops the squeak so they can claim they can’t duplicate it but that’s just a theory.

I'm starting to have this exact issue on my 2020 Rubicon. Has anyone seen a solution or is this just settled as a "jeep thing"?

mine still does it when I first get going in the morning, then goes away . I am out of warranty so I guess I will live with it unless it gets worse.
