I had that same problem a while back and it turned out to be my alternator that was overcharging. It ended up burning up a belt. I put a new one on there and it waas fine for a while but then it started squealing again. I used the voltage guage option on my turbo timer to find out about it. Everytime it overcharged, the lights would get brighter and the belt would start squealing. Mine shot up to 18 volts.

Now it could just be a tightening issue, but be aware, there are other causes as well.
