Drive belt "squeal" is most commonly caused by "slipping." Usually, properly adjusting the belt TENSION will correct the problem. If this does not correct the problem you can try removing the belt altogether, and "reversing" it, and then reinstalling and properly adjusting the tension. If neither of these fixes correct the problem, I would next, replace the belt with a new one, being very careful to properly adjust the tension. If that does't work, it appears [unfortunately] that there is probably a MISALIGNMENT of one or more of the pulleys driven by the belt. If that's the situation, I would recommed taking the vehicle to a good, well qualified MECHANIC.

How can tell if a whine noise on a Pontiac grand prix is it the power steering pump?

If the power steering pump is making a whiny noise on a Pontiac Grand Prix, the way to tell if this noise is from the pump or another source is to turn the steering wheel. If it turns hard, the problem might be with the pump. If the belt quiets down after a drop or two of dish soap is placed on the belt, then it was just the belt causing the noise.
