peeking?

Chirping maybe?

May be belt glazing that can be removed by using valve grinding compound placed on different areas of the belt (while it is NOT running). if the noise stops after you start it, then it may be solved.

Other possibilities are a stretched belt, a weak tensioner of a pulley going bad.
