Chirping/sqeaking noise. VIDEO included help

As you can hear in the video my car has started chirping and sqeaking! Its only on rough bumpy roads not on smooth and only when i accelerate. My initial thoughts where that it is a belt? Seems to get louder the longer the car is driven.

ECU bracket, check to see if it's snapped near the turret.

ive got a feeling its the aux belt slipping as the tensioner maybe startng to fail.

But why would I be able to hear that same noise only when turning right?!

In my car:

No noise when stationary, even when turning steering wheel
Noise when just off centre (turning right) get's slightly louder and more frequent when off centre, but no worse nearer steering lock
Chirping is not affected by speed, revs, etc...

Is it possible to check the aux belt / tensioner? Or is it just a question of replacement parts?

Mine isnt present until ive driven a few miles then it gets louder the longer i drive, mine doesnt make the sound when stationary, reving or on a smooth peice of road. I think its just a case of swapping parts dont no how you would check but maybe you could if you could get to it.

Don't mean to be rude but the problem has been there for some time now. Would it not be easier to just take it to a garage/specialist to get it looked at??

As its only going to be guess work over the net.
