I have had it with this squeal!!!!!!! Ok, so I have this squeal that only appears when my car hits operating temperature. We replaced all the pullies and belts on engine. I have depressed my clutch and what have you to see if it was the throwout bearing, but thats not the case. When I rev the car up it goes away, or if its under load it goes away. Wth is this! Here is a video of the sound. Changed oil and found nothing in old oil or filter

We drove over to my friends one day and we put that fast 90 on then randomly after operating temp reached that squeal appeared. No funky idle problems. We checked for leaks around there, and found nothing. We also sprayed break cleaner to see if engine would rev from a leak. We tried turing ac on and off to see if that changed anything. But nothing. Clutch doesn't affect the sound. If it is revd or under load it goes away. Replaced both belts and idlers and tensioners....
It is possible, but it does not sound like a vacuum leak to me. Sometimes a different part (the intake) creates interference with something up front - a pulley or belt, or even a radiator fan. Can we rule out power steering - the quality and quantity of fluid?

Spray water on the belt. If it goes away, it's an alignment problem. Possibly the power steering pulley or balancer. Although, that happens as soon as you start the car.
Remove the belt from the A/C to make sure it's not coming from there. Remove the belt after the car has heated up. It will run fine for a few seconds to check for causes of the squeal.
Have you replaced both idler pullies?
Have you tried a Gatorback belt?
