Metallic squeak when coming off the gas..

VERY new (<500 miles), 110 has a little metallic squeak whenever I come off the accelerator. Can't figure out if it's drivetrain or suspension.

Not too worried given how new it is, but wondered if anyone had any ideas?

Long shot - is the bonnet shut properly? Open it and give it a fairly firm shove down to close. The catches on both sides need to be fully engaged.

Will give it a try, thanks Nick.

It's hard to place, as it seems to only happen when driving. But it sounds like it's coming from underneath the car. Like when load on the drivetrain is removed..

Would a clutch or driveshaft squeak audibly?

Don’t think clutch or driveshaft but another possibility is exhaust heat shield rubbing. IIRC another owner on here may have had that issue. It was corrected by simply bending the heat shield slightly away from the exhaust.
