thanks for any advice and have a safe and happy holiday.
Try listening for the noise with the hood up before the start the car. Listen to see if you can determine what region the sound comes from. The belt is on the passenger side and a squeal could be from the tensioner, water pump, power steering pump, or the belt on that side.
