Play your music with a program other than iTunes without your headphones. Try listening to a video or music using Quicktime. If the squeaking goes away, then try updating your iPad software. A newer version of iTunes may help the problem.

Tips & Warnings
If your iPad is new, it may still be under warranty and any repairs to the speaker system will be free. New iPads are covered for one year if you take the item into the store for repairs. You can extend the coverage to two years if you purchase an Apple Care Plan.
If none of the troubleshooting tips work, take your iPad into an Apple Retail Store and let them run diagnostics to determine the problem.
