Squeak
For some time now my engines had a squeak squeak squeak noise that changes with the RPM's. I replaced the belt, idle pulley and tension pulley in effort to kill it. its coming from around the alternator but I don’t think that’s it is their anything else on that side that could squeak an emissions valve or something?
P.s. its a metal on metal sound.

My smog pump below the alternator was a real screamer. Once replaced, mine calmed down. Don't know, but it could be it. Only cost about $35. from auto parts store and took less than an hour to replace.
Hope this helps,

Take the fan clutch off and see if it stops. Try shooting some Liquid Wrench into the bottom of the distributor (inside the cap). If you get desperate, just take the whole belt off and see if it still makes the noise (don't run it too long 
).
