Why does it make the noise only when cold,then stop after I have driven it for a while
Inspect your drive belt/replced and check your drive belt tensioner.
SOURCE: Front end Chevy cobalt loud squeak?!
If you have the time, take the vehicle to an autoshop of your choice, and ask them to grease all fittings on the front end. My car did the exact same thing, it was the ball joints. You may need a new ball joint, but being a 2009, I highly doubt it unless its been in an accident or something. There are grease fittings on the front, I believe there should be at least 5, maybe more, but the sound you are experiencing is the equivalant to a pogo stick if I'm correct. Hope that helps.
SOURCE: 1999 Chevy Blazer makes noise
Check your driveshaft universal joint (u joint). When the needle bearings go, this is the sound it makes. To check, chock all wheels front and rear, put in neutral, if 4x4, put 4x4 in neutral also, go under vehicle, grab driveshaft at u joint and try to turn back and forth, watching for play, wobble in u joint. U should be able to see it. Let me know how u do.
SOURCE: makes a squeak sound when accelerating up to 15
Try to grease the x-joint (u-joint) it could be tht its dry.
If its worn out you would thn get vibrations at certain speed.
Hope this helps!
SOURCE: squeaking noise in engine. not serpentine belt.
You might have a dry bearing in the alternator. I've had a squeaking noise from them.
Testimonial: "thanks! the noise is not constant. it cycles with the rpm's. it like squeak-squeak- squeak and progresses as the rpm's increase."
