Hard to say without seeing the bike and and hearing the squeak and having a quick look at a few things, but brakes are common. If the noise stops when you are braking then that narrows it to them. If it has a back suspension I always find that they seem to be very noisy and annoying.

sometimes it goes when breaking and sometimes noise stays, I pushed the bike to see if it will make the noise when not breaking and it did I think the break pad is rubbing f**k knows ill see after a few days of riding :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

If you have brake pads then that is a chance it is easy to see if they are brake pads. I had it on my last bike after changing the pads.
