Default belts and pulley problem???

I thought i would try here since i wasnt having any help in the c3 forum...
when i was cruising last night i started hearing my belts whine out of nowhere...and this was after 45 mins of driving....quite odd in my opinion, esp since they are tight enough...Could this be a bad bearing in my alternator, powersteering pump, or water pump making this squelling noise, or just a bad belt out of nowhere??
Thanks
Chris

Pop the hood open while the engine is running and look at the belts...If one of them "shake" then you have a bad bearing on one of your accessory.

74VETTE- I feel for you. I don't have that problem anymore. A bar of soap does wonders to belt noise. Rub some soap on the edges of the belt. That should take care if it.
