High pitched squeal from engine bay
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!
Between 2k and 4.5k (rpm) I get a high pitched squeal from the engine bay. Its not my HKS system as it was making it before that was fitted. I hoped fitting a new clutch would solve the problem, but it hasn't. My car only makes the noise under loading (driving), and Honda don't have clue about what is causing it. A tuner said he could diagnose the problem, but the charge by the hour, y'know what I mean?!!
Any input is appreciated.

We have a serpentine belt that drives all the accessories (alternator, water pump, A/C compressor). It's possible that the belt and/or belt tensioner is what's making the noise. It could also be one of the pulleys on one of those accessories. If the rpm that it makes the noise is that specific, you should stand with the hood open, engine running and slowly rev the engine at the throttle body to see if you can "zero" in on the noise.
