Sounds like you've got a problem with either the belt or tension on it. That could be:

-Worn belt slipping at the RPM change, causing your alternator to dance

-Weak tensioner allowing belt slippage

-An accessory/ pulley binding due to bearing wear

Check the belt, pull it off, feel the pulleys and see if any of them have more than normal resistance or feel lumpy/ notchy.

it could be that or a bad alternator thats starting to lock up at high rpms' causing the belt to squeal... Check your tension and belt first tho

Mine does the same thing. I replaced the tensioner and checked all pulleys... still does it. I just haven't taken the time to throw a good belt on their.
