Default squeaky noise

Hey there, im sure this is an easy one and my ears may hear it differently hence my search didnt find what i was looking for.

The car makes a squeak noise similar to crickets mainly in idle, going real slow ie stuck behind slow moving traffic, sometimes wwhen taking off but it doesnt seem to involve the clutch, accelerator or brake.
At maccas the other day it made it as i pulled up to place order and it continued as i went to next window and continued again as i went forward and waited. Once i was off and on open road it was fine and didnt seem to make noise.
Has done it occassionally going over some humps too. It just seems to be erratic and i cant pin down exactly whats happening at the time to cause it?? Any ideas??

seems like a rattling spline or shaft to me due to insufficient greasing. Has the clutch/flywheel been replaced before?

Throw-out bearing?? Does it disappear when you depress the clutch?

A new clutch was replaced before we got it. Sorry to be annoying but what is a spline or shaft im still learning about the car....?
Its just gone over 100,000km so is that the point where certain things start to go?

Could be just a squeak from the body/chassis - this will be more so the case if the car has any body/chassis stiffening devices
Mine squeaks a little on rough roads/speed humps etc at low speed
just keep an ear on it and notice if it gets any worse, if it does get it looked at when next serviced

It doesnt seem to disappear with clutch, at maccas it didnt matter what i did it did it the whole way through but seemed to get worse as the car moved forward.
At the lights it only happens in intial take off (which sounds like its more clutch i guess) but it seems to be more the actual movement of the car going forward. Doesnt do it everytime but i think its worse if ive been doing lots of stop start heavy traffic driving....!?

Does it increase with engine speed?
Slipping A/C belt perhaps?

it disappears with speed it only seems to happen when going slow or taking off. At the risk of sounding stupid whats the a/c belt..?
Maybe it just doesnt like maccas..? Thats where it made it the worst.
