i think i`d be checking for loose mounting bolts first up, if that fails perhaps try a bit of silicon spray or spray grease on the mountings, hinges/bushes, see if it quietens down.

will be the hinges that the hardlid fits into, if it is not tight the lid rattles over bumps and the metal parts of the hinges rubbing together cause the squeak. Mine does it too.
