Squeaky Belt
I had this when the weather turned cold. Squeaked like crazy when the engine was cold, but then went away after a few minutes.
It was the AC idler pulley, but it could be any of the pulleys.

I had the exact same problem. Ended up being a pretty long thread with people having the same issue. I just replaced both belts and I haven't heard a squeak since. It is a really easy job, didn't take or move a single thing off the car to do it. Good luck!

definately a sign of either the belt, or a pulley going bad. i had a similar problem about a month ago, had to replace my idler pulley, belt and belt tensioner, and finally fixed the annoying squeak.
Yes now I'm starting to have this promblem as well my car is making that noise now I don't know if it's the belt making that noise or what my car onely has 5900 miles if that helps
