Default Rear end noise

Hey guys,
I have an 03 Road King Classic. Today it started making a chirping noise in the rear end starting at 40 mph. Does the rear axle need greased or could it be something else? Thanks

check yer exhaust. theres rubber isolaters where your mufflers bolt up in the back. if the bolts get loose, the rubber will make a chirping sound......kinda like what the old VWs did.
