do I have to replace my power steering belt? It has just begun to squeal. It's quite loud.

There's a loud squeal when I turn the steering wheel which I believe is the power steering belt. I think I might have heard a quiet version a couple of days ago but today it got really loud after about 10 miles of driving. Can you give me an estimate of repair costs?

-Dunno about the cost due to it varies with location-check if the belt is loose and tighten it up -don't work could be the power steering pump bearing
