Knocking from engine bay

So I've been trying to figure out what this was and posted on it before, but it's still up in the air. I live in Houston so it's always humid in the morning, that may make a difference. In the morning when I start the car it make a whistling/ squealing noise for about 2 minutes of running. Then after it warms up it goes away. Then while driving it, if i stop at t a red light this knocking noise comes from the center of the engine bay. It only knocks though during deceleration or a complete stop with the break applied. Do not do it during idle at neutral and at this time rpm's read 1k.
