this just started happening recently, after my car has been off for a while and i start it up again, i'll start going and right as i accelerate i hear this noise that sounds like a gay guy screaming. anyone know what could cause this?

Don't really know how a "gay guy screaming" sounds like. You need to post a sound clip.

Do you know what the "moose' sounds like?

it doesnt quite sound like a moose, its pretty high pitched, the first time i heard it i really thought there was some weird guy screaming next to my car. it scared the crap outta me

ok, the sound isnt exactly like a gay man screaming. i listened to it with the radio off and its a loud beep. anyone know what it is?

Very funny.Try and describe it better.

well, i have no clue how to post a sound clip, so i'll describe it as best i can. right when i start accelerating, its kind of a high pitched BEEP. not as high as say a ferraris horn, but its really loud and attracts a lot of attention. i dont know how else to describe a beep

Serpentine-belt-slipping sound? You may need to check pulleys. Is the Battery/Charge light coming on too? If not, then check A/C compressor or power steering pulley.

belt is slipping or pulley bearings are going

its just like a warning beep or something. thats what it sounds like. doesnt sound like a belt or anything. sounds like a projected beep. it happens right when i reach a certain speed. probably around like 5 mph

Turn ignition to on, not start. Is Airbag light on? When the airbag light is out, the airbag module gives a series of beeps if there is an airbag issue. The beeps (or airbag light flashing) will tell what the fault is.

belt is fine, but how do i know which pulley has the bad bearings? i dont really want to take it all apart to find out it isnt a bearing problem

Need to remove belt. Then turn pulleys by hand.
