If it squeals I'm betting it's a bad bearing on the motor; I think something stuck in the fan would make more of a scratching, rubbing noise.
Being only 2 years doesn't sound good, especially now that we have 2 '06 cars with the problem. I wonder if a different fan is used on the 06 and up cars and the oldest of the bunch are just now having problems. I had 213k on my '00 when I sold it and the fan motor just started making tiny squeak noises, and only at certain fan speeds. It was mild enough that you couldn't hear it once you were moving.

I've been hearing that irritating sound recently too. It doesn't matter if the A/C is on or not. I'll hear it while the car is accelerating. I bet there's a leaf or dirt in there...
