A squealing noise during acceleration is often caused by a worn serpentine belt. This is the belt that runs the alternator, water pump, steering pump, AC compressor, and so on. Some vehicles have more than one belt. You can check the underside of the belt to see if it is badly cracked (more than a few cracks per inch). If so, it should be replaced before it breaks and leaves you stranded.

The squeal can also be caused by any of the devices run by this belt, including the belt tensioner itself.

It is best to have it checked by a qualified person since it is always a sign of something worn and ready to fail, usually resulting in a towing bill or possible engine damage in addition to the repair.
