Same Thing
Mine did the exact same thing, now it squeals all the time. I've replaced the belt tensioner and serpentine belt. It does not do it when I turn on and off the a/c so I'm ruling out the a/c idler pulley. I have no idea what it could be and the noise isn't easy to track.
HELP!

A Solution!
Change out the a/c belt. After changing out the upper tensioner pulley as everyone recommended, the main serpentine belt, I finally changed the A/C compressor belt and it cleared up right away. You can do as everyone recommends and put some dish washing soap on the lower belt to see if it stops it. If it stop then it is the belt and not one of the pulleys. I do warn that your car will smell like burnt dish soap even after you wipe it off until it all burns off. Hope this helps.
