Any thoughts on what this squeaking noise may be? I seem to notice it more at slower speeds and it seems to be from the right side. I don’t feel or notice any issues with drivability.

If 4WD, may be a bad CV joint on front axle.
4WD or RWD, may be a bad wheel bearing.

I don’t know, the videos of cv axle and bearing noises dont sound like this. The comparable “noise” videos I could find are for vehicles with worn out bushings, such as motor mounts (apparently common in Tacomas), shock mounts, or even a radiator mount. I‘ll see If my local shop can chase it down.

By the (Tone) it sounds more like a (Thin Metal) resonance - so either the brake pad clips or the back plate - rubbing against the rotor - possible small pebble caught in between backplate and rotor.
I would check that first as a possibility
