I just finished replacing my oil pan and thought that something I did was the issue but its not, It seems to be the belt or something attached to it, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary, during startup it also seems to be at higher rpm. Has anyone delt with this noise or issue? I have videos a yt short of it driving at at startup showing the noise. (The clicking in the startup is an AC issue), its the screech that comes after Im dealing with, unfortunately its much louder then the video shows.
I've also looked at things like the brake dust shield and saw nothing and the noise being present while not under load or movement makes me think its not suspension related.

Update, a new belt didn't do anything, and the tensioner seems to be in good shape.

Nothing belt driven seems to be causing it either, with the belt off still heard the noise.

That was it, metal clip behind the transmission that fractured.
