Slight Squeal From Prelude When Idling - D2*

Hi,

I've had my Prelude for a couple of weeks, and have noticed that when the engine is warm and idling there is a slight squeal from the engine, I initially thought it could be the fan belt, but the sound goes away if the rev's are increased? I've checked the cambelt and this was done 6 months ago so it can't be that.

Any ideas of what could be causing the sound, or if its something that needs investigating?

Thanks for your help
