It happens at speed above 10 mph and seems to come from the rear of the vehicle. It sounds like a tea kettle and slightly increases in pitch with greater speed. The sound remains when coasting at speed in neutral with the engine shut off. Thanks for your help.

you've got a bearing problem- it may be axle bearings, carrier bearings, or thrust bearing, but it's a bearing- check the axle bearings first and don't drive it until you find the problem- if the thing comes apart on you you could wind up with a serious problem- like a loss of control and accident kind of problem.

I had something similar to this happen today in my 95 s-10. although while i was driving i heard a high pitched screech, and thought it was a scooter or smoething beside me, as i got to the lights i realized it was me. I pulled off the road immediatly and shut the truck down but the noise (from under the hood) continued loudly and did not seem to be quieting down. I smelt a very faint smoke smell, but deffinatly not a belt coming from under the hood on the passenger side. i quckly grabbed my tools and disconnected the battery trying to prevent any sort of fire and was shocked fairly well in doing so. When I bought the truck it was running rough and had a multitude of different plugs and wires. Just 4 days ago i had all plugs and wires replaced along with the distributor, a new fuel filter and a new oil filter. I have driven the truck every day with no noticiable differences until about 30 seconds before the screeching began my airbag light came on, on the dash. I would be really thankful if someone could point me in the right direction as I have never in my life heard a vehicle make this sound. Thanks in advance. Kay

If the pitch increases with speed, then sounds like may be a wheel bearing. If it is pretty much static with only slight increase with speed, on a truck that old, could be wind whistling threw something, hole in the bed, what ever.

it sounds like you could be having a problem with the rear differential, most likely the gears are worn and may need to be replaced

first check the rear end (differential) oil level

Something may be loose in the car or something may need oiled.
