Check the tension of the remaining belts. Look at the underside of the belts and see if they are badly glazed. Do not overtighten them.

Does it seem to squeak [squeal] more when the air is humid? Does it make this noise immediately after starting the engine and then stop?

I had a fan clutch fail and it locked up. Caused belt squeal around 2700 RPM+.
