Thumbs down Pulley/Belt Noise during Cold Starts at 10K miles???

Well....here in Cali we had some pretty decent rains over the weekend. Basically on the freeway we had large puddles of water and of course a bunch of idiots driving company cars like A$$holes spitting up all kinds of crap.

Well the other day when I started the car I noticed a loud cycling squeaking noise from the passenger side engine compartment.

It sounds like a squeaky pulley/belt. So I figured no big deal, once it dries the noise will go away. Well after warmed up the noise does go away, but everytime I start the car now it still makes the noise even though we didn't have rain the other day. So I am wondering if anyone else has had squeaky belts/pulleys this early on?

I have had the car for 1 year and 10K miles. I have owned many other cars and none of them made this noise this early on. Is it just the tensioner or the guides? I have heard other folks with the same noise, but they choose to ignore it. I am super particular about my cars and super paranoid as well.


It comes on in 1 second intervals and sounds like a small bird chirping "eeet...eeeet.....eeet.....eeeet....eeet":crap :

I do have a modded car, but I am almost positive none of them have anything to do with this noise.

There was a thread here the other day that may be the answer. Search for timing belt hitting crank sensor.

I have the same type of noise, although sound is hard to describe over the internet. Take a video if you can.

My noise only happens when its cold out when I first start her up.

I think I have the same noise you're referring to. I just ticked over 16k miles (stock everything). Did you ever get it resolved?
