Belt squeal sound that doesn't act like one

    Gents,

    Been having an issue that's coming from the front end of my 2010. You guys know that belt squealing sound that'll make you wince every time you hear it? For the last couple months, when the motor gets warmed up its like a constant squeal from the front end. Starts at speeds above 5 MPH and can still barely be heard at 70 over the tires. Anyone had the same issue? I replaced the alternator belt a few months ago just in case, but haven't worked on the serpentine just yet.

    It annoys the hell out of me driving through the neighborhood and I cant quite figure out what it is. No difference in tone whether on the gas or off it, braking or not, turning or not.

    Any stabs in the dark?

    The alternator belt is the serpentine belt... If it only happens when rolling above 5 MPH and not effected by engine RPM I doubt it is the belt. Maybe wheel bearings.
