Default Squealing Noise

I drive a C5Z and there has been a squealing/squeaking noise coming from under my hood. The sound goes away when the car is in neutral but as i accelerate it makes that noise. Would anyone happen to know what it is?

Thanks

Sounds like a belt or your water pump could be going bad.

Squealing is most often associated with a slipping belt. If so, either the belt needs to be replaced or the tension adjusted.
