Engine squeak at idle

So today I noticed that at idle, there is a very noticeable high pitched squeak coming from the engine bay. It sounds like a belt but I'm not 100%.

With a little throttle, squeak goes away until its back down to idle.

Anyone noticed anything similar?

Have you checked the lower pulley wheel?

The power units squeak when hungry and not spun up past idle.

No squeak here. Does your belt feel loose at all?
