ZL1 start up high tone whistling/hissing noise

My 18 ZL1 is making weird high tone whistling noise during the start up(sounds like dog crying ) and it goes away once the rpm settles down. I think it may be the belt but not sure. Anyone have this issue? And should it be checked out?

if it is a belt issue, get someone to start the car with the hood raised and investigate from there

Will do. Is it fine to keep in driving? It's been doing for abt 1500 miles.

Not sure anyone here should tell you if it is safe or not. Diagnose for belt and vacuum leaks as soon as possible.

If the noise seems to goes away quickly, more likely to be a vac leak. Check connections around intake and MAF for starters. If it lasts longer or is more random, I’d guess belt. In any event, should not be difficult to identify and correct.

I did not hear anything from the pulley or the intake area, but it seems like the noise is coming from the motor inside. Closer to the headers/ rear bottom side
