I have a 2000 pontiac sunfire and now sometimes when I start the car I hear this ringing noise and even when I accelerate. After a while it goes away, but then it returns. What could possibly be the problem?

first off does it have a remote starter hooked to it, if so disable it, my daughters car did the same thing till I took the remote out sometime the remote won't let you start manually in it is still engaged. next make sure all your connections are tight (battery ans starter, I bought a starter at a local parts store it was only acouple of months old for her car it started to do the same thing so I took it back and it failed their test ended up getting a new one. also check the rely located on the left fender wall it is marked starter it may be bad.
Firs check the belt tension, you should have about 1/4 of an inch free play in the belt, that is up and down movement of the belt, also check the fluid level. Is there any noises from the powersteering pump, like a bubbling noise or a whirring noise?
hard to diagnose without hearing my self but from your description i would say it one of your half-shaft best thing to do for sure is to take it to a repair shop most will take for test drive and diagnose the problem for free
