I was wondering how I can fix the annoying squeaking coming from my belts, all the belts are as tight as they can be and the belts are new. It only happens for a couple of minutes then it stops when I get going. I have heard this before coming from other cars and never knew what causes this, it's embarrassing lol. If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.

If the noise is truly coming from the belts, then the only thing you can do is replace them. There's always a possibility that the noise is coming from a pulley bearing and not the belts.

Possibly to large of a belt, tensioner slips after you tighten it, or a bearing in a pully or your AC compressor. Check for any oil or grease on any of the pully grooves first. What causes it is slipping, as the belt heats up the buttom of it grips better.
