Hey there Pigletwei27,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.
To get started, are you having any issues with the function of your Home button, or are you only hearing a squeaking sound?
If not having any issues with using the Home button, you could try cleaning around the area to ensure that there is no dirt or debris that may be causing any issues. For the best information on cleaning your iPhone, check out this link here: Cleaning your iPhone - Apple Support

Clean your iPhone immediately if it comes in contact with anything that might cause stains or other damage — for example, dirt or sand, ink, makeup, soap, detergent, acids or acidic foods, or lotions. Follow these guidelines:
- Unplug all cables and turn off your iPhone.
- Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth — for example, a lens cloth.
- Avoid getting moisture in openings.
- Don’t use cleaning products or compressed air.
Your iPhone has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic — oil repellent — coating. On iPhone 8 and later, the coating is on the front and back. This coating wears over time with normal use. Cleaning products and abrasive materials will further diminish the coating and might scratch your iPhone.
Let us know if that's able to help.
Cheers!
