Hello, When my car gets heated up and I go over 35 mph it does a loud squeal when I let off the accelerator. It only stops if you put it in park for a while. What do u think it is?

It still makes the noise. I looked at all of the air intakes and they are fine. It only does it when I go over 35 mph and my car is heated up. It doesn't effect the performance it just is very loud and annoying. When I push the accelerator it stops. Then as soon as I let off it does it.

Its on the left side of the engine. I can never get a exact point. Does Alternators make loud noises like that? Im only 17 and know just about nothing about cars.

I checked all of the belts and they look good. I took it to a shop one time and it would not make the noise. I guess I will just have to take to a few more places. Thanks.
