i have this same problem , one dealership told me to have the belts changed even tho i only have 36k miles.

The real problem is i need a new powersteering pullley , its bent or cockeyed, causing the belt to rub on the sides of teh pulley.

I hear this squeaking/whisteling all the time even after the car is warmed up. I have 25k on my 2k SE. I have no idea what this is. Also, when I start the car when it is cold there is a real quick whine sound that is pretty loud than stops. After that the squeaking or whistling sound is faint but constant. It sounds like something is rubbing.
