SE 2004 start up diagnosis noise.

On startup I am getting this strange whistle chirp from the throttle body side.
It only lasts for a couple of seconds when accelerating. before resuming to normal.
Just wondering if anyone has an idea to what it is. The video is hopefully a help to diagnose across the web.
Cheers

Worn belts? Slipping belts?

The ac belt is due for replacement but the noise is not from that area of the engine.
The sound is from the intake manifold side.
