Default 1996 v8 manual.. screetching noise

It stops when i open my hood gets less when ac is off and I'm lost.... I've checked my belts my pulleys and she just had a full fluid flush in June. I like to think i know enough that i can positively say it does not sound mechanical but almost like the ac or horn I'd messed up. Any ideas?

Nope I figured it out! It was a crackled vacuum hose. I guess I'm smarter then i give myself credit for. I was always pushed out of the man cave. So i just assumed i couldn't do it... but ahaha! Thanks guys! You kept me under the hood! Thats all that matters! Now on to the clutch!
