I have a Small Toyota Car. When I drive the car for a while and stop at a red light and start to run again I hear a little squeeky sound as soon as I speed up it goes away. It is still really small sound. What could it be?

It might be a slack alternator belt, although this is usually more of a screech than a squeak. Not serious and not expensive to fix.
If it is this, the noise will get more frequent over the next few years until the belt snaps and your red battery light will come on while you are driving. You will then have about 20 minutes or so to drive the car home or to a garage before the battery becomes flat.
The belts cost about $B!r(B3 and, depending on the model, take minutes to fit.
Next few days if it's that loose!
