Chirp at warmup

Small chirp chirp at start up that goes away as it gets warmer. It's not as constant as a water pump......

Anything from a loose belt, a worn belt, a bearing going out in {water pump, alternator, A/C compressor}, maybe a few more.

Usually a tensioner pulley. A bit soon for a 2019 to need that though. But any mechanical part can fail or have a quality control issue.

The car had the VBelt tensioner replaced last year.... It's intermittent but I'm going to keep an ear out.

Chirp is classically related to drive belt, pulleys or tensioner.
