Default Squealing noise

When I start my car, a few seconds later something starts squeaking, no it's not the belt, how do I attach a video?

Welcome to the forum Trent,

Pop your belt off and spin all driven accessories. Most likely the belt tensioner bearing wears out first. This is if your sure the belt is not at fault. Post back with what you find.

What exactly did it sound like? Was it like a vacuum squeal? Rotational? Or was it more like a Ned Beatty in the love scene from Deliverance squeal?
