After using my new watch for a couple of weeks,I have suddenly noticed that the "mile updates" while running will alert me with a sudden obnoxious loud squeak vs. a normal beep that my watch previously exhibited. Is anyone else noticing this?

I have noticed this too. It happens whether there is music or not. It reminds me of a squeaky chain on a swing at a playground. It's consistently the same for me, so I just assume it's what Garmin has decided iit should sound like. I don't like it, but I'd much rather have them fix the problems with music controls on headphones with version 3.0.
Found a way to disable the beep tone, which causes the squeaking noise: www8.garmin.com/.../GUID-4FD1E429-DE3B-4A8F-870B-82D8C482B20E.html
I have a FR 945, its been happening for several years. I've contacted help / support - however nothing was remedied. It happens through Jaybird, Adidas, Beats and AirPods - headphones. I would rather not disable the mile indicator and pace, however the whistle, squeak is really hard on the ears, especially in early morning runs. Garmin please fix this. Any alert from my watch exhibits that loud squeak. It really horrible.
