If it is a squeel/whine then it is the belt(s) replace them.

it also wouldnt be a bad idea to replace all of the belts....usually if one is bad, the rest are or will need to be replaced soon.
i just had my ALT belt litterly explode on my way to work a few months ago, i lost power steering and could bearly see cuz my headlights were dim and just sucking power from my battery. and that was after a changed a different belt and said, eh the other ones will start to squeak or something and ill change them then. so i would suggest to change them all.

If you replace the problem belt and it still dose it may be a bad pulley/part for ex mine did this and it turned out to be a bad alternator.
