My Honda civic has a loud screeching noise after the engine has warmed up, not on all journeys....not yet anyway. it also has a sort of loud purring noise when i first drive off as well.
It could be a good idea to check that the alternator /PAS belt(s) are tight...though usually they would shriek after just starting up. Can you be a little more specific about the noise and how it occurs?
