Im going out on a limb here and everyone is probably going to think Im nuts but back in the day when the belt in my little Corolla used to squeek I'd get a bar of soap and rub it on the inside of the belt. Then I'd start the car turn it off and repeat the process.
Hope this helps

Quest. 1....Does it sqeak, all the time, or start getting noisy after a warm up.
Quest. 2....Does it go away after about 1 hour of driving, or whatever,?
It is probably a pulley. I changed several before I found it.

Check the pulleys on the A/C belt. Both of mine went bad and local parts stores don't carry them. They are a beotch to replace, too. Check some of the vendors on this site to get some quality ones much cheaper than the stealerships will sell them for.

I wouldn't wait to get this checked, or take a long trip...
My serpentine belt broke in December. I had the dealer replace it.
The belt soon started squeaking, which it hadn't done before. 300 miles later the new belt slipped off the pulleys. Stranded again.
This time they replaced the tensioning pulley. Your belt is telling you something is wrong.
