Default Squeaking noise inside of car

There is a squeaking noise in the car that reminds me of a sound that if you put your hand in your pocket and press your nail against the fabric and move it up it makes that noise. It is inconstant when I turn the wheel but sometimes it is a long noise and sometimes its only for a second, it seems to happens more when I turn the wheel left, and the sound is not very loud.

Does this happen when you are parked or driving or both?
Any chance you can make a short video?

It happends when I am parked and when I am driving. I haven't been able to get a video because I don't drive much and every time I go to record it doesn't make noise. But when I i try to record it it doesn't make noise. And it feels like it is happening less but I could be wrong. So then I think the fix might just be to have my phone constantly recording lol.

Possible the seat belt attachment buckle is rubbing on the console. It has happened to me and will drive you crazy.

I wonder if its because the steering wheel is in my lap because I heard the noise again and the steering wheel was rubbing against my shorts. Is there any way to raise it or no.

You can move it in or out but not up and down. The lock is on the bottom of the column.

All the way down. Its because I don't sit straight up when I sit. It gets uncomfortable if I do.

Test your theory and try sweat pants. They shouldn't make any noise. If you pull the steering wheel out it might give you some clearance because of the angle it's on.

I don't know how to describe the sound well but the more I hear it maybe it is a belt or something. The sound is quiet idk how to make it louder but if I turned up my sound you could hear it.

It might be the little idler pulley at the top of the engine.
With the engine off, try loosening the drive belt and spin the pulleys. See if any of them make squeaking or grinding noises.
