It's usually caused by an old belt that has been worn and rubbed so hard, that it has a hard, glazed surface on the inside (where it touches the pulleys.) The squeakiness is caused by the hard glaze slipping against the smooth pulleys, (like a rosined bow against a violin string.) Replace the belt if you don't want to hear that tune...
