Frustrating unsolvable issue

Haven't been able to solve this one yet- stumps me. Tried greasing it up to no avail. I attached a link to a video of a sound my car makes. It's coming from the front area around the left suspension. Anyone ever heard annoying like this? Video is High Quality. http://youtu.be/jyhlOtCR_Io

Have you tried spraying the a-arm and LCA bushings with lithium grease? What about the sway bar end links?

Omg that's terrible!
It sounds like your dog is playing with a squeak you in the back ground!
Start with greasing bushings, but it sounds like a damn ford explorer or anything else ford pulling in and up a hill, so I'd say ball joints.

Check all of your bushings, sounds like you have a worn bushing somewhere

You need to find out why your suspension is making noise, spray and grease won't stop the noise if you have defective/worn parts. Forget the "Stealerships" find a independent brake/alignment shop in your area, they should be able to find the cause within minutes. I have 3 shops like that in my neighborhood. Good Luck & Enjoy the Ride!

That little bit of pressure shouldn't make that much noise. I think it's something far more serious than a bushing. Something is not attached right or very loose. Take it to a shop. Some places won't charge you if it's a quick diagnosis. ..... Does it act funny when driving? It looks like there's a lot of movement where the tie rod attaches to the suspension. I'd check the bolts in that area to make sure they're tight

This.

You don't wanna ride around on worn suspension parts, that will only make the whole thing go faster which will cost you $$$$ and possibly an accident should it begin to affect roadworthiness.

UPDATE: I went through the winter with the squeak and it mostly stopped (or at least got quieter because i didn't hear it at all) Now the summer is coming back and so is the dry weather- I can hear the squeak sometimes again lol Car is still in one piece though. Might just take it to the dealer- Someone said bad motor mounts- but on a car with 62k? idk... I hate this sound...
