Sounds like either a loose or worn belt. Tighten/replace as needed. In another light... I had the same issue with squealing after I started. This continued for a bit after I accelerated and would be quiet eventually, until I stopped again or upon next startup. A dealership service shop and my local mechanic said the same thing. "The problem is the Tensioner (belt is on this and sometimes belt may need replaced also)". The Tensioner itself was inexpensive, but the labor to do the job was more than double, no matter where I received the estimates.

When a car squeals while moving, but the brakes still work properly, it could be a squeal from a drive belt. It could also mean that something like a tire rim is rubbing on the brake rotor. A vacuum leak in a small hose under the hood will also cause a squealing noise.
