rough idle and high pitched squeaking!

the other day i after i GOT MY OIL CHANGED, i noticed i had a somewhat rough idle (no big deal) (COULD it be do to AFM?) so i kept it running and poped the hood to look/listen. my friend told me to rev it up so i did. around 4k rpm there was this horrible high pitched squeak. to about 5.5-6k rpm. i thought, no big deal, when i did it agian there was nothing. so today i was going in first gear (not flooring it) and the same high pitched squeak happened. i wanted to know what could be causeing this and what can be done about it? and what it means?

Some hick in a auto mirage or something that ran like a 12.00 every time, i think they should ban autos.

Belts are cheap, i went to advanced auto and picked up the alt, P/S and A/C belts for less than $15 (i think, its been awhile but i know they were cheap.) They are a piece of cake to replace too.

Use your ears. Where in the engine bay is the squeak coming from?
