There is nothing about this problem that's normal.

The Yeti microphone is famous for passing USB 5 volt quality problems on to the sound.

By the way, there is a Yeti-Pro model which is much more expensive and doesn't have Yeti Curse as near as we can tell.

 If the squeak is coming from the equipment, would it not be constant? According to the thread title, this is a random noise.
Yes it shows up at random intervals, maybe every 15-30 seconds or so, but it seems pretty random within that range.

 A true story: An ex-colleague of mine had a problem like this - he was listening intensely, and each time the recording got to a particular point, he would lean forward and say "...... THERE!", at which point there was a squeak. After considerable giggling, the producer allowed me to fetch a new chair for my colleague - one that didn't squeak.
I thought it might be that so I wiggled around on the chair and it didn't show up. I'm not sure what it is.

Anything could be squeaking in a live room.
