Okay here's the problem, recently the front end of my car started making squeaking noises, more like a birds chirp whenever I drive over bumps (railroad tracks) or small ditches. This noise bothers me because it takes the whole fun out of driving her.
Another noise that made its way back was the squeal which is probably the belts that are loose, will replacing the belts stop that noise? That's it for now, thanks.

Probably just the suspension. A lot of parts move when you go over bumps and when the car flexes. It's amazing at how much stuff doesn't make noise. I wouldn't worry about noises going over bumps if it comes from where the wheel or shocks are, because it is probably just them.
I had the extreme noise issues exactly how you describe it in the rear.
Turned out to be the bushings in the rear went bad. Couldn't get them out so I had to order whole new control arms for the back, with the bolts!
For the front, I also had noises and it turned out to be the strut mounts-- i just ordered nexx coilovers for the car, (they come with all the strut mounts). I also replaced the stabilizer links.

I thought the squeaking was from the flexing of the sway bar in the rear... You should try take off the bushings then use some good automotive grease on both the inside of the bushing as well as the point where the bar meets the bushing and then reassemble. Look for the "Torque Specifications" sticky to find out how much to tighten the nuts.
