Noise on start-up

Sounds like an idler pulley going bad or a belt slipping to me.

I agree. Idler pulley or something accessory that the belt spins, water pump, Alt. a bearing in one of them for sure.
I would check the belt, if it's good, pull it off and spin each pulley by hand until you find the one making noise.
