Eh kinda hard to tell but I would start with the easy/cheap stuff first. Wrap the hood latch with a couple passes of electrical tape and see what happens.

Just worked on this same squeak today. Aftermarket K&N Cold Air Intake added to my Pathy a while back. Just started squeaking like that a month ago or so. Actually almost identical to that same noise. I put a couple self-tappers through the air box with a cut in half rubber cork as a bushing. We'll see if it helps. Now on to the wheel bearing issue...

Did you ever solve this? Mine is doing the same thing. Had the dealer replace the upper and lower control arms to solve an different noise. After that the chirp that sounds like metal on metal has started.

Its only on abrupt jolts like potholes. Sound comes from the passenger side. I guess it could be the hood latch, Ill check that tonight, but that sound would be more centered wouldn't it?

I want to figure this out so the dealer can remedy it. Im past warranty, but he said due to the fact it was reported prior to expiring he would honor it. I dont want to wait too long though.
