Have someone check the serpentine belt. If that looks okay then check the alternator

Personally I'd remove the serpentine belt and spin, listen and feel every pully by hand any bearing irregularities.
More than likely the alternator, waterpump or tensioner pully may be dragging. Check the condition of your serpentine belt for cracks or chunks missing on the driven side. Replace if necessary.

It could be a bearing going bad in the water pump, a bad belt tensioner, bad power steering pump, bad bearings in the alternator or something as simple as the fan belt not having the proper tension or needing lubrication

sounds like a fan belt, either get a new one or check it hasnt got oil on the pulleys this will make it slip and cause the squealing

Squealing usually means it's time to change your glazed belt. Or, there is a pig in your trunk. More likely though it is belt change time.

It sounds like you need power steering fluid or the power steering belt could be worn badly

Fan belts slipping, either loose or old and dry..... the get glazed...... check them if they are old and cracked replace them, if loose tighten them.

Your belts are loose.
