Default Squeaky belt

I noticed that the last couple days I've had a squeaky belt and it hasn't been a continuous sound so I was unable to check which belt this is why I'm coming to you. It only happens when I start my car, squeeks for about half a second maximum then goes away. Here is the log.

3 days ago: squeaked for maybe 1/10 of a second (really freaking quick)
2 days ago: same as the first day
Yesterday: about a quarter of a second of squeaking
Today: also about a quarter

Again this squeaking only happens right when I start my car. I doubt its my a/c belt since I don't usually use a/c. Maybe its my alternator belt...

When was the last time you replaced or checked the tension of your belts?

Checked the tension, never.

Replaced, I believe in february of this year. Replaced all belts and converted a/c at the same time.

Takes 2 seconds to open your hood and press down on your belts to check tension. Also check in between the grooves of the belt, if they are glazed, it's time for a change. Don't forget to check for cracks too.
