-Belt

A belt running one of the various components of your vehicle may be loose or in need of replacing/adjustment. Sometimes they simply get wet, and other times the tension pulley is out of adjustment. They slip on the pulley and cause the squealing until they regain traction. (Belts may run AC, water pump, alternators, engine fans etc)

Your 1992 Honda prelude 22l just started making a consistent squealing noise when driving it stops squealing when you brake or when the car is at a stand still please help?

i would think that it may be a belt slipping. since it only happens when the car is moving/acelerating. perhaps one of your belts is loose and when you accelerate since the pulley moves faster the belt start slipping .also the splash shield behind the brakes rotors sometimes bend and you get a squealing type metalic sound. if is more of a humming sound it may be a wheel bearing .
