Default 2009 Mazda CX-9 - Help with noise

Can anyone tell me what is causing an annoying squeak in my 2009 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring? The squeak seems to come from within the right front dashboard area. It is speed sensitive in that and seems to get faster with increased speed. Road surface makes no difference. Turning off the fan makes no difference. The sound is similar to what poorly lubricated speedometer cables used to make when cars had speedometer cables. The sound is similar to what a small fan would make when its bearings were going out. The sound is similar to the sound wheel bearings make when poorly lubricated. High pitched rattle/squeak. I’ve looked for loose anythings at the glovebox, dash, vents, door hinges, seat and seat operating mechanisms. No luck.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Check your wheel bearings.

Is your CX-9 FWD or AWD?

Could be wheel bearing, could be the PTO/transfer case.
