sounds like a belt.

Yes it is most likely a belt, my common one is the power steering belt. Its very easy to tighten. DO NOT over tighten the belts or you will shread your crank pulley and you will not be a happy camper.

how do you set the tension on the power steering pump belt?? I think I have the same issue

Mine was doing the same thing, but I noticed that I was low on power steering fluid. You might also check that. ..I would be interested to know also though on how you tighten the belt.

Loosen the power steering pump, insert pry bar and pull, putting tension on the belt. When you get the desired tension on the belt, tighten the bolts.
