I Googled “Flange Squeal” but I don’t understand the connection to VH’s song
PatC created a monster, 'cause nobody wants to see Don Simon no more they want AARR I'm chopped liver, well if you want AARR this is what I'll give ya, bad humor mixed with irrelevant info that'll make you roll your eyes quicker than a ~Z~ banhammer...

The song itself is not about flange squeal but the sounds in the song replicate flange squeal in my opinion. I think Eddie Van Halen heard that sound and wanted to replicate it and did in the song Intruder.

Are you referring to the squeal a railroad wheel makes?

Ok, now I hear it but I voted no that it didn’t influence the notes in the song. But I can understand why someone might think it does.

You hear it therefore it is.

Somebody in Van Halen must have liked trains I bet it was Eddie.
