Probably your serpentine belt or belt tension-er.

RE: question about a noise

Definitely a classic sign that it's time to change your belt. If you shift hard, do you hear it slip a little then too? It could be a pully too, but that's usually a little bit different sound and doesn't go right away when it warms up. If you haven't changed the belt for a while, do so, and while you have the belt off spin all the pulleys to make sure they are smooth and don't make any noise.
