check your belts first, they could be worn and might be loose.

A mechanic's stethoscope can be super handy for figuring out these problems.

something you might want to check out is the idler pulley

awhile ago i changed all my belts on the car, when i would rev the engine it made a squeaking sound. Used that tool the honda guy is talking about and could clearly hear the idler pulley was bad.
