Annoying, loud, squeek/squeeling sound from enginebay
It sounds like it is emanating from near the serpentine belt, the rate of the squeel increases with throttle, only makes since to be something connected to the belt right, the only "moving" part during idle in that area? If thats the case how can I make it go away, it is the most annoying thing ever.

You need to locate which pulley is making the noise. How many km(miles) on the car, a weak tensioner can cause belt noise, or the belt itself if it is cracked/dirty/glazed.

You probably won't be able to feel it with the belt off (unless the pulley is very bad). With the belt on, and being extremely careful, take a long screwdriver and put it against the bolt holding each pulley on. With the engine running go to each pulley and put the other end of the screwdriver up to your ear. You should be able to hear a distinct growling noise in the bad pulley.
