Default '01 Stratus making noises when using heat'

I have a 2001 Stratus. This problem just started recently. I haven't done much car repair before, so I don't know when to start. I will post a video of the problem.

It seems that when I am turning left and when I accelerate quite a bit (I tried to do it at the end of the video, but it didn't turn out well), that it stops squealing. After reviewing my video, it seems to get a little worse when backing up (I was on an incline in my driveway, though).

Does anybody know what is wrong or at least where I should start looking to fix this?

Thanks

Don't see a video, but squealing could be an accessory drive belt.

The word 'video' in my first post should be a link to the video. At least it is on my screen.

Thanks, I will research the drive belts. Do you know of any way (hopefully free) to get a manual for my Stratus?
