First, check if there's any debris or dirt stuck in the steering wheel mechanism. If there is, clean it out thoroughly. If that doesn't solve the issue, it might be a sign of a loose or worn out steering wheel belt. In that case, I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to get it fixed.

One possible solution could be to lubricate the steering wheel column and connections with a silicone-based lubricant. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully and not use too much product. If the squeaky noise persists, then it could be an indication of a more serious issue. Take your car to a professional for a thorough inspection.

I had a similar problem with my Vauxhall Astra and it turned out to be a worn-out bushing in the steering wheel. I replaced it myself with a new one and the noise disappeared. However, if you're not comfortable with DIY repairs, I recommend seeking help from a knowledgeable mechanic.
