It probably is a belt. You should look under the hood and check for a loose belt. Tighten as necessary. You should not be able to deflect the belt more than 1/2" in the center of the span of the belt.

Brakes will also make a screeching noise when they are worn out. This noise will also go away when you stop (of course). The sound is quite different than the belt sound.

2009 nissan altima is making a noise ...i think its the tension. has anyone ever heard of that?

older model altima need drive belt tension adjustment at 7500 miles intervals, the new models altimas has a automatic belt tensioner.i you hear noises belt tensioner could be failing.or could have leaking coolant getting on drive belt due to water pump gasket leaking or pump leaking.or alternator power steering pump could be failing many things will cause drive belt to make high squeak noises.

I have a 2001 Nissan Altima when I turn on a/c there is a screeching sound which eventually goes away?

this sounds like a loose or bad belt, this could be the alternator belt or the ac belt, the alternator and the ac may use the same belt to drive them both, this is what the problem sounds like to me. if this problem has been going on for a while then i would just replace the belt or belts, this is because the slipping belt causing this noise may be glazed so replace them and make sure they are tight and that will solve that problem good day.

How to stop the airconditioning belt from screaming

If it's loose it can slip when the a/c comes on and screech.
If it's not loose but screeches when the a/c is on then the a/c clutch or compressor is locking up.
If it screeches any time the car is running it can be any of the pulleys. Take the belt off and see if any are hard to spin. Be sure to check the idler pulley also.

I have an 03 nissan altima engine makes loud clicking noise

1st check the the oil level and the vehicle's oil type.(owners manuel) 5w30-10w30
10w 30 is a thicker oil and could possibly be causing this.(Moves more freely through the engine heats the oil)
