Default Squeaking or squealing coming from engine

My 05 3.2 with about 60k is making either a squeaking or squealing from the engine compartment.
It has been getting louder. I am bringing it in on Wed but was wondering if others have had this and what the damage was?

Could be nothing more than a worn belt.

Any idea what a belt costs at the dealer?

You can easily test if it's a belt slipping. Apply regular blackboard chalk to both sides of the belt, while engine is running. BEWARE of MOVING PARTS!!!

Since I just became an owner of a C6, I have no idea at this time.
