Engine squeak upon cold start

My 1997 Camaro has an annoying squeak when it is first started. After a few
minutes of running noise goes away. Anyone else experience this problem?
Suspect idler pulley may need replaced but not 100% sure

Mine does it to. I suspect the belt. You could start it with the belt off and see if it goes away.

I have had this problem more than once, every time a new belt fixed it. Could be the idler though. If you haven't changed the belt in a while, I would just do that and see if it fixes it.
