Spray something wet on the belt ( window cleaner/ pledge/ wiper fluid ) and see if it does it . A little grease from a leak will cause the belt to squeal momentarily

Loose belt, bad tensioner or idler pulleys, alternator or other belt driven accessories, engine bearing problems, transmission going out, or if it a standard clutch or throwout bearing.
