also tips on how to fix the squeaky noise on the yellow side lol

looks like you're doing a lot of moves and rotations in f2l tbh

i'll analyze the first 2 solves' solutiins more in depth

[solid minnow]

ok sure

solve 1
cross
seems like a rather inefficient solution. you don't have to align the D layer until the end. i'm not super good at cross, but i think
x2 y' R' U' F R' D' R
is better

1st pair
you should've rotated the other way, so you fill a backslot
alternatively you could've not rotated and inserted with
(U) F U' F'
this leaves you with all remaining f2l edges oriented so you don't have to rotate anymore

2nd pair
it's better to do the back pair here so you only have front slots left as your last 2
(U) L U2 L' U L U' L'

3rd pair
you do not need to rotate at all here, so rotating twice is extra bad
simply solve with
L U L' U L U L'

4th pair
why the y3' 😭
simply do y' here, then
(U) L' U' L and then insert with sledge for eo

second solve seems actually pretty solid in terms of solutions honestly

only for last pair you can do without rotation
(U) L' U L F' L F L'

in general, you should try to pause and recognise instead of immediately spamming useless U moves

thx

I just watched the first solve and i didnt hear any squeaking but if you hear it than you can lube the core just like on a spring cube
