Cold start noise

The past couple of days I have noticed a strange noise. After I have started the engine, and it has settled into a normal idle, I back out of my driveway at idle, turn to line up down the street, put the car into drive and press the pedal and as I start going I hear a low pitched squeek. It seems to come from the passenger side of the engine compartment. It happens one time if I keep going, after that the engine makes only the normal noises I have come to expect. I let the car idle for about 5 minutes yesterday and it didn't do it at all. There doesn't seem to be any loss of power or anything else, just a strange noise. Honestly, it sounds like when you start a fire with a bow drill, if that tells you anything.
