I have a 91 nissan 240sx, automatic, from time to time it make a loud
whistling type sound when I start it and then when I start to drive
this will continue for about 10 seconds, some times get louder
initially then it stops and doesn't occur again at all while driving
typically.

Any idea what I should check for?

thanks.

Is it a whistle or a whine?  If the latter, could be low power
steering fluid.

I would say whistling/chirping.

thanks

When was the last time you changed belts or checked their tension?
Any cracking or glazing of the belts and it's time for a change...

Alternator belt tension?
