Mine was making a screeching noise that I was certain was the serp belt.

Nope, AOS getting ready to croak and it did a day later with great plumes of smoke.

With the car cold, take the serp belt off and start the car (don't run it for more than a minute or two). If no screech, then its something driven by the belt, possibly waterpump, check WP pulley for play.
