Started up my car for today since. It was nice out. Heard this noise coming from the engine. Sounds like it's the belt slipping since it's from the front. Any suggestions? http://youtu.be/KADK5lfDvAg

Has the belt ever been replaced?Sounds more like the idler/tensioner pulley or other accessory bearing squeaking . A slipping belt will usually squeal real loud ,especially when it's cold and you step on the gas rather then slipping at idle.

Here's a youtube video for checking belt.....

Thanks for that. It's definitely not loud. Last week I started it up and it was fine and then today I started it and heard the squeaking. I'm pretty sure the water pump was replaced 20 miles ago, would the pulleys have been replaced as well? I'm the second owner so I'm not sure if those have been replaced but I'll get it checked out! Are they costly to get done?

the bearing might be making noise.
