If it's a TJ you may have the infamous "Angry Sparrow" squeak. It's caused by a dry centering ball in the cv joint in the front driveshaft.

Try this, slide under the Jeep and soak (really soak as in washing out all of the crud) the "open" end of the cv joint with silicone lube and see if the noise goes away.

If it does, this is really only a temporary fix. Ultimately you'll need to pull the front driveshaft and clean and relube the centering ball assembly.
