Can you be more specific as to what type of sound(s) & where abouts they are coming from? I assume the white smoke is coming out from the exhaust system? The more detail you can give, the better the chance we can assist.

If the engine is not worn and the computer is working properly, then the white "smoke" you mention is not really smoke at all, but simply water vapor (mixed with a small amount of sulfaric acid fumes). This is more or less normal for catalyst-equipped cars if the fuel mixture is correct. The visible vapor should go away at warmer air , engine, and exhaust temperatures.
High-mileage, worn engines sometimes DO show a bluish-white smoke out the tailpipe....that is oil smoke from worn rings, valves, or bearings.
The squeaking could be any one of a number of things...please be more specific, and try to give us the location if possible..front, rear, engine, etc........
