What year and how many miles? I'm at 20k on my 25 and have just a single loud screech that's a fraction of a second long on every startup that sounds closest to this and I can never tell where/what it is other than the engine bay when everything else is cranking up/over at the same time. It's almost more of a metal/metal high pitched squeak but this is the only sound that comes close.

It's a 2024 with about 23500 miles. Could be the AC clutch you are hearing. There is a tsb out for that. Just recently had mine replaced. So far, the chirp sound on startup is gone.

Gotcha, that may be it as well, but sometimes my AC/air isn't turned on at all. Will have to not if it does it with the air on or not. Let us know what the dealer says, I'd assume it's covered under the basic 3/36K full warranty.
