There is an intermittent squealing noise from my 2003 forester. I've heard similar noises coming from old boxer fans with worn bushings. Most times I hear it when driving @ around 100 KM/h. I have also heard it when driving slower when it is very windy. As a test I have removed the speedometer then drove the car @ highway speeds and the noise is still there. So I'm guessing that the speedo isn't the problem.
Any thoughts or ideas on this?
The brake pads are okay?
Alternator and pump belts are okay?

You have a loose belt on the A/C. On most new cars that is one big belt that drives everything on the car. If when you look at the belt on the grooved side, do you see cracks on the grooved part running across (from side to side) on the belt? if so, it is in bad need of a new belt. A new belt should stop the squealing noise. While you are replacing the belt also check the belt tensioner to ensure it is in good working order.
