A little more info if possible. Is it a consistant "squeal" like from the cut motor? Or does it change with the movement of the truck?

Is it a consistant "squeal" like from the cut motor? its not real bad but, it didn't start til lately. so it concerned me and i haven't used the machine again, i have only had it for a couple of month. I do get a message to check the flex shaft, but nothing seems to change.

A post is an individual message such as this. A thread is a series of posts under a topic. For example "Strange noise" is the topic of this thread and my response is a post.

The Flexshaft tends to "rattel" more when it needs lubeing,
and the cut motor will page off and on when drilling ect..

High pitch noise could be a loose bit!!

Take your Top Hat off the top of the spindle. If you find a puddle of oil then you have your problem... oil in the spindle bearing... New Spindle. If it's dry than it is most likely the flex shaft. Lube the shaft and turn it end for end and re install it.

I agree, sounds like it might be a spindle bearing. That's about the only thing I can think of that would produce a consistent "squeal". While trying A;'s suggestion, with the flex shaft out, spin the chuck by hand and feel for any roughness or binding. Also, see if it moves side to side at all.
