winding noise as motor speed go up 850 1994

I got 1995 850, had same noise - my mechanic said " don't worry, make radio louder"..

Drove w/ the noise for another 6-8 months, it got so bed that even people who did non know anything about cars, started asking "is your car all right".

So, First changed PS pump - 50% of the noise gone.
Then-changed belt tensioner pully -got a little better, but the noise did not go away completely.
Next , changed idler pulley -THAT WAS IT -no more wining noise.
I would suggest to change idler pulley and tensioner pulleys first,if does not help -look further -could be PS pump, alternator, Compressor as well.

You need a special tool to loosen up the tensioner to remove the serpantine belt.
Hope, it helps.
