When you turn on the AC, it puts a heavy drag on the engine and the serpentine belt. If the belt is worn out, it slides over the pulley and makes a squealing sound. You can spray a belt treatment on the belt to quiet it, but that's only temporary. It's best to just have the belt replaced. When the mechanic replaces the belt, he'll check all the pulleys, guides and tensioner to assure that they're good.
