Dittos, welcome to the forum.
My belts have squealed in the past, and for a temp fix I use to shoot them with WD40.
I found those belt dressing sprays did not work, and WD40 worked much better.
Sometimes for a month at a time before the sound would come back.
It sounds like you might need new belts too.
TIP:
Only buy Toyota belts.
I was a firm believer in the Gates brand as that is what I grew up with and my dad always used them.
I used them on my '90 Toy truck I use to have, and they did not work out right.
Genuine Toyota belts have a groove on them for the pulley, and just plain fit better.
After going to Toy belts after the Gates ones, the noise went away.
About a year and a half ago I went to all new Toy belts on my 4Runner, and not a peep from them.
