Icon5 Squealing noise during startup (EX sedan MT 1995) what is it?

I read that it could be the AC belt or the alternator belt, is that right? or it could be something else?

It used to do it during cold startup but now it even does it a little bit on every startup.

If the belt was never retightened after initial install, then the belt could be squealing.
Easy check. Spray the suspected belt grooves with WD40, startup and see if the noise goes away.
