alternator belt, airconditioner belt, or power steering belt. Try tightening them.

spray them with WD40 :beer

What Chris said. A spray on the belts with WD-40 will shut them up for a day or so. It's a good way to diagnose a noisy belt problem.

If this is the case then replace them.

A/C, when i found out it was my air con I just cut the belt.
The Air Con clutch might be stuffed. Check it out.

dry lube works well aswell, looks like a chap stick crossed with a crayon, shuts it right up
