Squeaking noises when starting my car.

When i start my car, it makes this horrible squeaking noise.

but it makes an even longer and louder noise when my heat is turned on. and when i turn the heat off, the noise stops.
it's getting very annoying.

anyone know what it could be?

i was told it may be my serpentine belt..is this true?


btw it's coming from the right side of the engine

Try popping your hood and listening for the noise, turn a few accessories on and off to help pinpoint the sound. It could be a worn belt, your idler pulley going bad, a bearing in your alternator that needs some oil. You have the car right there do you honestly expect someone on the forum to tell you what the noise is?
