Default belt squealing at start up

only lasts for a couple second, and then when it stops the idle increases.
what belt is most likely making this noise?

Then you have your answer. Check the tension.

^~~~+1 cheap rubber belts have a lot of stretch in them and squeal all the time and u can never get them tight enough. as he stated get a good expensive high quality belt or OEM. if u wanna buy cheap belts u might as well get used to this problem.
