Gen4- constant squeak

At a guess I would say probably not. It has been rainy since I've noticed it but it doesn't sound like running water.
Occasionally after it rains I can hear running water in the front of the jimny for a few miles but this is definitely a rattle/ squeak underneath (very similar to what I had in my 05 mode)

I went out today with someone but there were useless, did agree there was a noise though. But not sure if that noise was the squeak, general jimny noise or me moaning about the noise!

Chirpy is the perfect description of the noise!

To me chirpy is a squeak and a squeak is interaction between rubber ( probably ) and metal. Anti roll bar comes to mind. First step is to inject WD40 between rubber and metal and see if that helps.

Yes, anti-roll bar was my first guess as this was the issue on my previous jimny.
I got the family mechanic (dad) to have a look and he has used the magic of WD-40. Will go out tomorrow and see if it's helped. 
Thanks again for everyone's responses.
