Squeeking noise coming from engine

When I accelerate there is a squeeking noise on the engine this goes after a bit of acceleration but then comes back when i need to accelerate again, could this be the cambelt needing changing

I hope it's not the cam belt squeaking. It's possible that it's a cam belt tensioner or something though.

Is it only under acceleration? Constant or at certain revs?

The info you have given is really quite poor and would be hard to recommend anything.

Only happens under acceleration and it goes away when I get to certain revs afaik.

Car is a Ford Focus 2002.

alternator scream?

Im unsure what that sounds like so im not sure, all I know is it happens I think at low revs and then disappears as the revs get higher. Only noticed it today
