I would think your Bearing Is gone causing this shreiking sound. For It's last bit of life, I would try packing Insome White Lithium Grease at the bearing.

Probably the alt. Could also be a lose/bad belt.

If its the idler pulley(s), you can carefully pry the side seal off the bearing, put in some fresh grease, and push the seal back on. I did this a few months ago and the noise hasnt come back at all.
