a bad tire will have a winding noise too, if its the same noise im thinking your asking about. rotate tires first and see if noise moves.

This is one of those things like you hear on Car Talk.

Try to narrow down what part of the engine it's from. It may well be a bearing, or a $30 timing belt tensioner. Regardless, it's sort of urgent to find out what it is. Squealing can be from:

Water pump
Tensioners
Bearings (scary)
Camshaft (also scary)
Any belt
Any belt pulley
Harmonic balancer/crank pulley
Air conditioning compressor

Try to rule out belts by spraying each with a spritzer of water, or some WD-40. Do this while the engine's running, one belt at a time.

Look at your engine's underside carefully. Any antifreeze dripping? Oil?

Let us know what you find.

Thanks,

Ari
