If it is not your belt, check your pulleys and tensioner. It also depends on what type of vehicle you have. Sometimes the idler pulley will screech. Hope this helps.

Yes, they make a screeching sound.
I have a screeching sound in my pick up when it gets up to 2000 rpms. Does not make the noise while idling and starts fine.
If it is a loud screeching noise it is because they are loose and need to be tightened up, and or they are old and worn out
I COULD BE THAT IT IS NOT LINED UP, NEEDS SHIMMS
the clutches in torque converter
more detail required, what are you doing to cause this and where does the noise/ smell come from?
Two thoughts come to mind; 1- it could be the serpetine belt (not common but possible) 2- You could have bad bearings in the motor. I would see an expert asap! on this one.
When a timing belt is going bad it can make a high-pitched screeching sound. It can sound like a high-pitch whirring noise. Not all timing belts make a noise when they are worn or going bad.
It could be a power steering belt that is wore or stretched. If no luck with the power steering belt check the pulley.
I just got a new power steering pump and my car is making a screeching sound, even after I changed the belts. What noise does yours make
Usually that noise is caused by a slipping serpentine belt. When you first start, the alternator is creating a lot of extra electrical power to recharge the battery. During that time the alternator is more difficult to turn and if the belt is even slightly loose or the tensioner is marginal, it will make that terrible noise.
