<VV> Strange squeek noise

[Chris C, Warwick RI]

Its a light squeak, I think my muffler attachment may have been rubbing on 
the car, the clearance is not big, and with the car at an angle, maybe it 
was in contact.  Did not think of it until you mentioned sheet metal.

Before I pull off the belt I'll just try running it on flat ground.

Thanks to all for the advice.
