Default Dash/gauges squeaking

When I'm decelerating typically after I've exceeded 3k rpm I get a squeaking sound from my gauge cluster. It happens only as my rpm decreases and is right around 2k give or take. It sounds like a mouse squeak haha and it's only for a quick second. The jeep did it when I first got it in January for a couple months, but no problems during the spring or summer. It just started making the sound again. I live in pa, and the weather is starting to get cold again. So I'm thinking it has something to do with the cold temperature. Driving back and forth to work doesn't get the jeep hot enough for me to see if it goes away, so I really haven't had a chance to prove my theory yet.

Anybody have this problem? Any ideas? Any known fixes?

could it be a loose screw allowing something to flex? Or maybe a loose piece of trim?
