Default Awful, screeching sound when it starts

Hello, every one!
The last couple of days my 2004 X-Type has been experiencing this awful screeching sound, when I start it (even when it's in neutral). As I drive it up the road, it just fades and it will only manifest itself when I start it from cold.
Could it be due to some slack on a belt?
Any ideas on what it could be?
Thanking you in advance,
WolfJag

Almost definitely one of the belts, probably the alternator.
