Minor squeak on throttle up/down and changing gears from P to R and R to D

Hello,

The problem I am describing here has to do with an annoying squeak
that's not too loud but can be heard easily when the car is in the
garage and even outside just as I come to a stop on a red light.

Whenever I switch gears from say P to R to reverse or from R to D I
hear this small squeak coming from somwhere in the engine copartment. I
can also hear the squeak if I lightly rev the engine both on throttle
up and down. In other words when I first start to push the gas pedal I
hear the little squeak and when I release I also hear it. As I said the
squeak is not very loud but is noticeable and reproducible 100% of the
time. It's the not the same kind of squeaking you get from a worn belt
or brakes. It's just a single squeak sound.

I took my car to the dealer and although the technician could hear the
noise and spent a few minutes trying to figure out where it's coming
from, he simply decided that it's a "normal" engine noise. It's not
normal because this noise started to happen only recently.

I'd appreciate input on this problem.

Thanks.

I forgot to mention that I have a 2002 Maxima GXE.
