Hello,

I recently started hearing a screeching (squealing) noise when I start my car and/or accelerate. The noise also comes up when I am at a red light. It goes away after a few seconds. I recently had the serpentine belts change. So everything is new. I did some investigating to see where I can pinpoint the noise. It heard it around the power steering pump/tensioner area. Any more info on what could be causing this noise would be much appreciated.
