squeal noise
If you are getting a squeal on acceleration ONLY, it could be a rock chip caught in the sprocket teeth. I had this happen. The chip was lodged next to inside wall of sprocket and was very small. Took two inspections to spot it. Look at belt to see if there if a wear track starting. This was my telling clue.

Hope you'll find the solution. I will take my to the dealer if this happen to me. It could be serious.

My RS bakes make a squeal noise when the parking brake is out of adjustment.
