Several Reasons
1. It's old -- Have an auto parts store check it for you. They usually don't charge for such things.
2. It's loose - Same as above
3. The squeak could be coming from the water pump rather than the fan belt- If it's neither #1 or #2 try to find a friendly auto mechanic who will listen to the squeak and suggest a cause and repair.
