Post Noise coming from right side of engine. Please help

Hey guys. My name is Yunior and I'm new to the site. I was hoping someone can help me. I just bought a 2008 Acura TL and Im having this squicking noise coming from the right side of the engine which is the passenger side. The noise is always on. On cold start and when the car warms up. It never goes away. But it is constant. When I accelerate it kind of gets a lil louder but not too much. Can someone help and give some ideas on what this could be or if anyone has had this problem. Thanks in advance guys

You can get much more help in the problems/fixes section. But it sounds to me that you need to replace your drive belt

Good chance the bearing in the idler pulley went bad, (replace idler pulley). It would be a good idea to replace the serpentine belt as well while your in there, if its the original belt.

Overall, it could be any accessory or component attached to the serp belt. The idler pulley is just a common point of failure.
