It may be the belts themselves.  Check the belts tension and condition. You
may want to try some belt dressing just to see if that stops it. But don't
look at the dressing as a permanent solution.  If the dressing helps, you
may need to replace that belt or tighten it.

my dad's jetta ('87 gli) has a real bad problem.  when ever it rains, and
the rain stops,  it starts producing this horrible whine. it has a variable
pitch...when accelerating,  the pitch drops, then comes up again.  during
hard accelaration,  it actually sounds like a peel out =).  it's sooooo
frikkin loud,  obnoxious, and embarassing.  any body here ever experience
this?  this sound is just sooooo very annoying.  i'm guessing that one or
more of the bearings that the belts ride on are fuc%ed up.  guys???
