High squeal from engine area

My wifes van has had a high pitched squeal coming from the engine area for a while now. The noise is highlighted when she presses the accelerator. We have replaced the serpinteen belt many times with no resolution. What other part could be causing this problem.

I would suspect one of the idler pulleys, alternator bearings, water pump baring, you can isolate the location of the sound by using a short piece of hose, hold one end at your ear and with the engine running and the squealing noise evident carefully aim the other end of the hose at the deferment pulley locations, as you get closer to the noise source you will hear a marketable rise in noise you hear through the hose, careful not to get the hose caught up in the belt

2003 Monte Carlo has a high pitched squeal when you accelerate it's not a belt, the noise comes from the front of motor area

My best guess if not a belt would be a bearing, water pump, alternator, power stearing pump, AC compressor all can make that noise.

What would cause whistling noise near pully and belt area noise gets louder with acceleration

The engine serpentine belt may be worn or wet. The belt slips, causing a high pitched squealing or whistle noise. The other possiblility is a bearing beginning to go out on one of your belt driven components
