Default strange squiik sound from the engine

Hello everyone

Yesterday my car started to make a really odd noise. It definitely comes from the engine room, and appears when reaching 2000-3000 rpm. Its not entirely consistent, but is almost there every time I the that rpm range. The sound itself is quite short and resembles air leak, but it could also be a friction made sound. Some times I can even prolong the sound if i raise the rpm's real slow, but the sound is not there if I rep it up in idle.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks!

Speaking of which, did you get your sound figured out?
