sounds like a belt...

sometimes when i get on it and let off it makes that sound that we all know that sounds like a belt i just got it replaced a couple months ago it hasnt done it lately but could it be from me letting off quickly or me not letting it drive for a little bit to get warmed up or it just isnt tightened down enough..

Our cars have automatic tensioners on them so you cant tighten them yourself. If the belt is loose then the tensioner is bad. Grab the belt and see how much play it has. If you can move it over an inch I would say replace the tensioner. But I would also check all the pullys and make sure you dont have one locking up causing the belt to slip.

also try pushing down on your adj tensioner by hand, if you can move it that way then it is bad.
