Default What to do about abnormal belt noise?

My power steering/alternator belt has been making an abnormal amount of squealing noise lately. I can hear it squeal when the car is at idle and this noise actually gets louder when I accelerate.

Is there something that I can do to make this stop or do I need a new belt? Is there anything that needs adjustment such as a tensioner or something?
Thanks.

Belts aren't very expensive, if they haven't been changed in a while just get some new ones.

Yes, the accessory belts can be changed without changing the timing belt. Your current belts are probably just worn out so a fresh set will be good.

Yeah I think I should just buy a new belt. Can I purchase it at any auto parts store or do I have to go to a dealership?

Thanks for the advice.

I believe any parts store should have them.
