Default Squeeky belts?

I have a 95 Ex, and when I am at low RPM, starting from a stop, or Idle when parked I hear a squeek.

When I gas it, it gets loud, then falls off at about 2 or so RPMs...

Someone told me I could "lube" the belts and that would take care of it...

Any thoughts?

I was thinking is was the AC belt, but can't trace it?

Then while the car is running and the belts are squealing, spray WD-40 on them one at a time, and see which one stops squealing when you spray it.

Inspect that belt for cracks or abnormal wear. Replace it if you find anything bad.

If everything's okay, tighten it up until the squealing stops, but don't overdo it. Overtightening belts can lead to engine accessory failures.

That makes sense. Thanks.
