The older Rhinos, 2004-2007 suffer from squealing brakes. The rear brake is on the driveshaft, which is probably the origin of the squeal under the bed you are hearing.
There's really no solution except to keep the brakes clean and adjusted. I would buy some brake parts cleaner from the auto parts store, along with some shop towels, latex disposable gloves, and facemasks and give the brakes a good cleaning.
Wear the gloves and mask because of the asbestos dust possible from the brakes.

Yup, you're new to Rhino's. People that have owned them for a while have given up on trying to figure out what all the strange shakes, shimmies, squeeks, squawks, rattles, bangs, and clanks that these things make are coming from. They have to be the noisiest, rattleist, most vibrating, unrefined vehicles ever made. LOL. They are a lot of fun though.
I'm sure your Rhino is just fine. Take it to the car wash and give it a good cleaning, and maybe the new noise will stop. Welcome aboard.
