So I have noticed the past couple days a squeak or squeal type noise. It sounds like it may be the belt or a pulley. I haven't had a chance to really look at it. Anything that is typical to look at? It's at abou 105,000 miles may just be the belt itself.
 
Mine does not sound like that. Mines like a high pitched chirping. But I do believe it is pulley / belt related

The first video had a high pitched chirping. Maybe it didn't come across right on your system.
 
I say replace belt, tensioner, maybe idler pulley, check vibration damper for strange movement, and finally check for coolant leaks. My belt has been squeaking high-pitched on cold start-ups, and it whines for the first 10-15 minutes of driving at any rpm. Had the belt and tensioner replaced a couple weeks ago, and maybe 75 miles later the squeaking came back. I think the vibration damper is causing my problem because it's rusted and doesn't look like it's moving the way it's supposed to. Just check everything before buying parts, but to be safe, I'd replace the whole pulley system since parts are cheap and getting rid of the whining is priceless.
 
Its a different noise than in the video. I will see if i can listen to it after work today and get a better idea of where its coming from.

Kraka, I don't think i will be replacing everything, besides my luck it turn out to be something not even related to the belt..

Its more of a constant squeal than a chirp chirp chirp chirp. I have only ever noticed it in the morning

Ok I got ya. I know one thing. It had me fooled because mine sounded like something totally internal in the valvetrain. I'm glad it wasn't.

I wanna say mine's constant too. I'll have to take a video when I start her later.
