My 01 base has this weird squeeking noise when its in first. Like its not load and if im and not giving it alot of gas its no prob. If im at a stop sign for example though and don't floor but give it alot of gas its like a weird squeeking i hear on my side of the car. Almost like a slithering squeek if that makes sense.

Nothing wrong after a sec and nothing outside when its in neutral

edit:
think it was my exaust, just rattles a bit

could be a belt, could be a tensioner, could be something in the suspension.


check your visible belts first - then check the suspension for anything out of the ordinary.


Lastly, when was the timing belt done last/ tensioner? I would imagine you'd hear the noise constantly if it were that - but it's just another thought.

Low on air in tire lol...Could be one a pully...or your power steering going out. Hope that helps. Oh yeah does it when u just drive straight, turn or every once in a while. And does it sound like popping? or just plain squeaking < metal, plastic or annoying sounding >

It's your alternator / A/C serpentine belt. Follow instructions to tighten it up. Doesn't sound like it's too bad so don't over do it. Does the squeal change when you turn on/off A/C?
