Squeal Sounds

[LegacyGT97]

Noticed this when I accelerate fast from a stop, or from going from 20 to 60 fast. I get a loud squeal noice coming from my engine. Anyone got any sugestions?

sounds like a belt(s) (timing, accessory, a/c) . Does this "squeal" sound happen when you start your car by any chance?

chuckthefuk is probably right, but I also want to add that some subys make a noise when accelerating fast over about 3K RPM. My car does this and I still really dont know what causes it but other forums that I found said that it is an exhaust leak. To see if this is your problem just check if it only makes the noise in the upper RPM range. Hope this helps.

It doesn't do it when I turn the car on. It only squeals when I acelerate hard. and it makes the noise between 20km and about 60km.

Its definetly in the higher RPM range. Its not a big deal, im just wondering what it is.

02_Legacy is correct its probably your valve train. Most DOHC 2.5's make excessive noise when climbing the rpms.

Take off your intake silencer and fix your exhaust leaks, you wont notice the sound that much after this.
