You have withstood a loud high pitched noise for MONTHS?! Without going to a mechanic- this is the kind of stoicism I had when my two babies would start crying at the same time- but, I don't think replacing their fan belts would've helped-

Yet again I have booked to go to the mechanic, alas the high pitched sound has now stopped. I have no doubt it will come back again as it did last time! Unfortunately it tends to disappear when anyone who may have knowledge to assist is around. Last time I went to the service centre the noise stopped as I turned to go into it. The noise is loud inside but can be heard a little outside.
