Squeal is has a more neutral or positive connotation/meaning.
I would use squeal when talking about something cute or when someone “squeals” when they see their crush.
Screech is a little more intense and it’s meaning/connotation is neutral or negative normally.
I would use it for the sound a car makes when the driver hits the brakes or for the sound a marker makes when you press hard on a whiteboard while writing.
