If all the rubber/seals are in order where the top of the window enters, I would try with silicone spray or put vaseline on the place where the squeal is coming from.

Both of my 2021 ESes made/make a sound at the very top of travel too but it's not a high pitch hamster sound like that but more of a low frequency creak. like creaking wood. Both brand new cars. I'm not 100% sure what it is but it's annoying. i figure it's normal. i tell myself it's the window being extra tight in the seals.

curious if Camrys/avalon do it too.
