Two problems with my 8

Hey guys I need some help trying to figure whats going on with my car. First, when accelerating at about 8k-9k rpms there seems to be a squealing noise, it isn't super loud but is noticeable. i checked the belts they seem find so Im not sure what it could be?
Second, recently there has been a noise coming from the car when taking off from a stop and turning left or right. It sounds like when traction control kicks in and you feel/hear the tires, but I always drive with traction control all the way off so Im not sure what that could be also.. Any help would be greatly appreciated
by the way the car is a 06 six-speed with 30k miles
Thanks

I highly doubt this is a common problem, but I once had a faint whistling sound in high rpms, and discovered some leaves and twigs in my air intake duct (before the filter) probably from an animal or somtn. Squeal went away.
