Default squeezing noise when start up the car?

my baby reached 200k last month so got everything done, timing belts other belt, water pump and new sparks plug. It been fine but in the last couple weeks I heard the squeezing noise sound like the belt tension noise squeezing when I start the car up in the morning. It only making the noise once, and for the rest of the day you can stop and start the engine and you will not heard this noise again. I am in VA and the Winter month is coming, is this have to do with the cold temperature or something that I need to bring it back to my Mechanic?

Thanks

Do you hear the squeal when you turn the AC on?

You should have the tension on you accessory belt and power steering belt checked and readjusted if needed.

If it is not them then have the timing belt tensioner checked. Did you have the idlers replaced?

no squeal when AC on, and no idlers replaced. I think should check the accessory belt then the timing belt tension-er

thanks
