Default SQUEALING noise (video)

I noticed this a week ago after I took the car out of storage. I've already removed the belts, and the noise is still present. I've read that it could be a vacuum leak, but I can't seem to figure out where it would be coming from. Here's the video I took of the noise;

The AC has its own belt so unless you removed that one as well, it could be the cause.

Just realized you said belt(s)

Hopefully this helps someone out. The noise turned out to be a failed LS7 lifter.

Wish the forum was more helpful, sorry it took you 4 years to diagnose.

It didn't take me that long, haha.
I just got busy with life and when I made it back to the forum I saw that I never updated this thread. I fixed the car in the fall of 2015.
