Why is my car squeaking when I reverse?

What does it mean when your car squeaks while driving?
If the squeaking is due to a belt problem that generally means it’s either a worn-out belt, worn-out bearings or a problem with belt tension. A too loose or too tight belt can also cause squeaking and it may be a problem with the tensioner pulley, which provides the right degree of pressure to the belt.
Is it safe to drive a squeaky car?
That’s why it’s recommended that the serpentine belt is replaced early when the squealing symptoms are first noticed. Although it may be safe to drive with the squealing for a few days or weeks, the belt will eventually need to be replaced, and for safety, the earlier it’s repaired, the better.

Do you make a squealing noise when backing up?
Thanks for your reply. No, they do not squeal any other time – only when backing up out of the garage. (I don’t know if they would squeal backing up elsewhere because didn’t test this). They do not squeal when braking while going forward – even in the morning before the car/brakes warm up.
