Default Squeaking noise

Just noticed a squeaky noise in the engine bay when in drive or reverse. In neutral or park, barely to none. Anybody know what can be the issue?

noise can be heard at low rpm/speeds as well.

Serpentine belt is a good place to look. While it squeaks, spray some water on the belt to see if it stops. If the noise stops, the belt needs to be replaced.

Is the noise rpm-dependent?

Just noticed noise the other day so I sprayed belt and noise was still there. Noise gone today though. Gf drove it one day before and said she's noticed same squeaks after freeway driving. So not sure.
