Default squeaking from engine in drive and reverse

I have this annoying loud squeaking when I am in DRIVE with my foot on the brake, and when I reverse. I don't hear it when moving.
When I finally got someone to look under the hood while I was in drive, it looked like a part was shaking all over the place. Its kind of to the left of the battery, at the end of a thick plastic hose type thing. I dont know all the proper names of the engine, obviously!

Does someone know what that part is, and if there are some kind of clamps that can hold it in place. Maybe it's a bigger problem than that?

the air intake box always shakes like crazy...

but from the sounds of it... it might be one of your belts either the fan belt or the power steering belt

heck wouldn't hurt to replace 'em both

I'm trying to find a labeled picture of the engine. i can point out the exact part thats moving and causing all the noise if I can find one.
If it's the air intake box, what can be done to shut it up? It wasn't always this loud. Something must have came lose.

Default Noisy

I have the same problem with mine... Exact same problem. I lean towards agreeing with the idea of it being the belt(s) though. I tried spraying some lubricant on the belts (prestone brand belt dressing) and it made the noise go away....... for about a day or so.

I still haven't fixed the problem though... Does this mean that i'm due for a belt change? If so, is this expensive? Can i do it myself?

fan belt is easy, now the PS belt is a p.i.t.a.
