Default Belt problem?

I have a Squeaking noise on acceleration that is coming from the front of the car (sounds like the passanger side close to the engine)

Could this be a belt issue? Any suggestions if not? I have checked as much as I can that nothing is loose and it is not a rattle.

Thank you

is it a "sqeaking" or more of a "ringing" noise?

I guess you could call it a ringing, I'm bad at this stuff. It is consistant on acceleration and it sounds just like the sound other cars make when they are out of power steering fluid, albeit clearly that is not it.

I get a single squeal when the engine is either idling or under load and the AC compressor kicks on. There's also a ringing noise between 3500-4500RPM under acceleration. The ringing has been gone for quite a while, but right after my dealer oil change, it's back with a vengance.

Before you all ask: Yes, I double checked their work and it's been done properly. One thing I did notice is that they filled that sucker all the way up to the top line of the dipstick. I'll let the level drop a tad and see if it goes away. Considering how my car goes through oil, that won't be very long.

I'll check my oil level. Any other ideas?
