Default Help w/Busted u-joint?

I just got my car about a week ago and have noticed a sqeaking noise coming from the back of the car. Im pretty sure its not the brakes because if i press on the brakes to stop the squeaking doesnt go away. The sueaking gets faster as you speed up. It doesnt sound too threating but wasnt sure if something might be breaking or ready to break. My only thought is a bad rear u-joint on the driveshaft. Anyone have this problem? What do you guys think? Any solutions? Maybe just needs a good lubing up?

I've only heard clunks from bad ujoints, never squeaks, although it might happen. I'd put the back of the car up on stands and spin tires by hand to see if anything is rubbing, like maybe a bolt backing out and touching something.
