Maybe the tires?

If it is in the engine compartment, it is probably either a loose belt or one is getting old and slipping.

That depends on how, when and where it is squealing. For example, if the brakes squeal when applied, the brake pads are probably worn down. A squeal from the engine compartment whenever the engine is running could be a loose serpentine belt (especially if the squeal changes a little when you rev the engine).
