Default Squeal after cold start

I own a 2019 Mustang Bullitt with only 300 miles. Recently started hearing a squeal 2-3 seconds after I start my car only when cold. It last anywhere from 7-15 seconds. Idles and runs fine. If car was older, I would say belt or tensioner. Don’t know what it could be. Could the fuel pressure regulator on the engine make a squealing noise? Took it to the dealer and they could not duplicate. Strange as my wife and I both hear it when we start the car inside our garage. I don’t use the car often sometimes 3-4 days between starts. Any thoughts would be appreciated,

If your vehicle has a turbo, have someone check all the hose connections going to the intercooler and on down to the intake of the engine. Sometimes a loose hose can squeal when air pressure blows through it when cold.

I read somewhere this is a cam-chain noise. Mine also does this since new and I now have only 1900 miles. I'm not going to worry about it.

Belt noise likely because of a slight misalignment.

It's the auto tensioner
