I am hearing a little squeaking when I roll the 500 forward or back. It sounds like it is coming from the disc brake in the back. Anyone else having this noise? I'm wondering if there is a small stone caught in there.

Wash it good in that area then try it. If its still there, take the wheel off and inspect the brakes. Might also have a dry rear barring. You wont know till u physically tear into it.

I had and still have the same issue. Took it to the dealer under warranty. Still does it. If you figure it out, let me know.
Mine has that squeal also. I think mine is in the rear disc brake. Or maybe a rear wheel bearing. Mine has over 4,000 miles on it. LOL

Yeah, pretty sure mines in the rear disk. The sound hasn't gone away. I'm starting to think, if it doesn't make numerous noises, it isn't a Honda Pioneer 500.

Had a 700 like that, turned out the front brake disk guard inside the wheel had gotten shoved into yhe rotor and was rubbing.
I have a squeaking in the rear brake assembly periodically. I attribute it to rust/dirt build up. It's usually most prominent after the machine sits for a bit. I get going around 7-10 mph and lightly apply the brake for a few seconds and it clears the disk and stops squeaking. It's something to try if you want.

My P500 used to do the same thing. I would slightly apply the brake while driving like @Morpheus said, and it would go away.

Mine was doing it on Sunday while backing into the garage. The wife asked about it and I said it's no big deal.

For a couple years, my 2018 700-2 had a chirping squeak from rear brake that came and went regardless of braking or accelerating. I finally fixed that irritating squeak. If the metal brackets that hold rhe pads in place are not just right, they each have a little tab that can rub rotor. I moved one bracket some and the squeaking has finally stopped.

Had a rock in mine once. It would squeal and chatter bad when hitting the brakes. Took pads off and a little tiny rock fell out and the problem went away.
Rock and Roll WAS Noise Pollution! 😆
I had a left front brake caliper sticking. Took it apart and got it unseized.
