Help!!!!! Squealing noise coming from TB

well i just noticed it a few days ago and i just cant figure it out. i searched around and have not found anyone else with this problem so i guess i need to ask you guys what it could be.

i first heard this squeling noise after sitting in my car and accelerating. i then got out the car and pulled on the little throttle cable manually to rev the engine and after i let it go it is a sqealing noise sorta like "EEEEEEEKKKKKK" after i let go of the cable. it sounds like it is coming from the TB and it only makes the noise after i let go off the gas. i just had my UDpulley put in so i checked that out and the noise isnt coming from there, i also checked the y pipe but the only noise is the rattling from the cross member (which will be fixed once i get my catback installed on monday) the squealing noise sounds like its around the TB or that area and it only sounds off when i let go of the gas. it only sounds for like 2 seconds then fades away and it wont be heard....untill you press the gas and let it go then it will sound for 2 seconds and fade away.i know it isnt normal cause it never did it b4 and i dont hear it on my friends max. i just want to know if i can do something to prevent this from getting worse, or having any performance/gas mileage problems.

it sorta sounds like a mouse skweaking lol i doubt it is a mouse cause it woulda died from the heat but that is the best discription i can give ou as far as sound. PLEASE HELP!!!!

p.s.
anyone know where i can get a test pipe for a 95 max, the shop wanted to charge me 100 for a pipe with o2 sensor hole, i need one asap

Sounds like you have a vacuum leak.
Check all of the hoses connected to the TB. Especially associated to the EGR system.

i cbecked the hoses and cant find anything disconected or broken. everything looks ok. also when i adjust my TB it starts to make a hollow hissing noise like something is disconnected, but i cant find anything lose or disconnected. im stumped!!!! also the squealing noise is still present after letting off of the gas.

I have the same thing goin on with my TB. I really don't know what it is, and could only hear it when I put my short ram on. There is no sound with the stock airbox on. I really don't care about it, as I think it's just a cable squeak.
