I own a 2011 Honda Civic with a little over 103,000 miles on it. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the cold and rainy weather or what but when I start it up there is a squeaking noise for a split second. The forums I've looked at said it was either a belt was loose or going out or it was just throwing off condensation The lights and heating weren't on and I don't know what it could've been.
It could be the drive belt. If it requires replacement, there is a squealing sound.
A simple replacement should take care of the sound.

it may be the fan belt. The belt may need tightend or need a new one.
SOURCE: Front Noise!
I have a 2000 Honda Prelude SH with about 110k on it. I have been having all sorts of squeaks from the suspension over the past 1 or 2 years. It was the front ball joints that were found to be causing the noise. I also had an upper control arm and a tie rod end that was squeaking. The reason for the squeak is the sealed design of the ball joints and the fact that they cannot be lubed, and eventually just wear out. I could get it to make the noise by pushing the car up and down at the affected corner. I've been disappointed in the way the suspension on this Prelude hasn't really held up well. I've never had so many suspension components wear out on any of my cars before. But, your issue definitely sounds like ball joints to me. Those are the same symptoms I was having.
SOURCE: Front end Chevy cobalt loud squeak?!
If you have the time, take the vehicle to an autoshop of your choice, and ask them to grease all fittings on the front end. My car did the exact same thing, it was the ball joints. You may need a new ball joint, but being a 2009, I highly doubt it unless its been in an accident or something. There are grease fittings on the front, I believe there should be at least 5, maybe more, but the sound you are experiencing is the equivalant to a pogo stick if I'm correct. Hope that helps.
SOURCE: Driver's window squeaks when it gets cold outside.
I finally got sick and tred of my driver's window today. I removed the door panel and water shield and inspected and tested. Although the noise we are all experiencing seems to be coming from the glass track, if you feel the center guide that the glass follows, you should find the noise is coming from this guide. I could feel the vibration. There is not much room for adjustment but there was sufficient room to move the glass on the guide bracket and relieve the binding. Mine is smooth and quiet for the first time since I bought it. A relatively easy fix. no sprays, no lubricant just eliminate the binding.
SOURCE: squeaking noise in engine. not serpentine belt.
You might have a dry bearing in the alternator. I've had a squeaking noise from them.
Testimonial: "thanks! the noise is not constant. it cycles with the rpm's. it like squeak-squeak- squeak and progresses as the rpm's increase."
