Tires squealing on rollers...
They are my old road tires and did not used to squeal, however over the last 5 or so hours they have started. Is this common? Have I just not let my tires get old enough before now? How do I make them stop with out using my "new" tires? I have thought of a few possible solutions, however none of them probably will work.

Yes, yes it was. Though while I realize they are not expensive, I cant really afford to spend the money.
Oh well, if my wife does not like it when she is sleeping I guess it is time to chance the wife. Preferable to changing riding habits.

Cleaning the rollers might help. Also, I've found that riding outdoors will cause the tires to squeak when put back on the rollers.

Have you checked you tire pressure? I let mine get a little low and they made an amazingly loud squealing sound. I now pump them to 120psi prior to each session.
