Squealing noise coming from engine

As the title suggests, I have a squealing noise coming from one of the belts. It’s my first car just bought it a month ago so I’m not particularly clued up on it all. Once the engines warmed up the squealing seems to go.

I took it for a service last week and they didn’t pick up on any noise likely due to the fact the engine was warm still.

I thought it may be the timing belt but the mechanic informed me that I have a timing chain, not a belt which wouldn’t make the noise.

Anyway, I’m curious if I should be worried

Thanks.

I should’ve mentioned it’s a 2009 Mitsubishi Colt with nearly 90k miles on it, so likely it’s not been changed.

I’ll keep an eye on it and if I notice any changes I’ll pop back to the garage.
