Default Squealing when accelerating at low speeds

02 Silverado 1500HD 4x4 automatic
There is a squeal from the engine compartment when accelerating at low speeds (25-45 range). If I let off the gas, the sound stops. If I press the pedal harder, the sound stops. Of I hit 50mph, the sound stops. It started as a soft squeal, but has gotten significantly louder over the last 2 days. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome from Florida. I would check your serpentine belt and also the tensioner and idler pulleys.

Don't just check belt deflection. Clean them. If they're dirty they will squeek (and and also deteriorate much faster)
