I believe the answer is:

squeak

(Other definitions for squeak that I've seen before include "Short high-pitched cry as of bat" , "indication oil's needed?" , "High-pitched animal noise - (narrow) escape" , "Sound of a mouse" , "Pip's partner -- quakes (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
