I have noticed an intemittent squeel from my rear end also. I am concerned that it may be one of the bearings at the axle ends. Mine sounds more like a shaking/rattling squeel but it doesnt always do it (kinda like a worn bearing). Is that what you are getting?

I dont hear it with the windows closed (road/wind noise block it out, at least to my ears). I barely hear it with the windows open. Its really noticeable though when I pass another car around town and the sound is reflected back at me. It doesnt always happen either.

Check the fluid level in the rearend. Or just drain it and replace the fluid and add the posi diff lube. My SS does the same thing...same as yours, only when turning slow (like in a parking lot).The good news is its not expensive to fix. Its somewhat common on these cars.
Ohh yeah...look for a leaking seal on the axle. You'll find little whiffs of grease/ oil on the wheels or on wheelwells on the body. That causes fluid level to drop and the noise to get louder.
