Okay, from what I understand it came on out of the blue and it is a real bad squeal it kind of sounds like some of it might be coming from the alternator, the rest sounds like it's in internal squeal and not sure what it would be, but here's a little clip of how it sounds. Also, when you step on the gas the sound kind of goes away or is muffled by the rest of the motor sound.

Hello,

The clip with the sound did not get uploaded.
Please try to upload again.

Typical squeal happens due to worn serpentine belt, weak tensioner or bad idler pulley.
Does the noise go away after the engine warms up?
The first step would be to inspect the belt for wear and tension.

Take a look at this helpful guide:

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
