Honda- short squeal after start and noise with clutch

1996 Honda Prelude Si 2.3 liter 130,000 miles. It is a manual. My car recently has started giving a brief 2-3 second squeal right after ignition. It only happens when the car has been sitting for a bit, and seems to go away after the car has been running/driving for a while. I just recently replaced two Multi V-Groove belts which were cracking, could that have something to do with it? My other question is, it seems to make a weird whining/crackly sort of noise starting from a stop when I let the clutch out in first. I flushed the clutch fluid figuring that was the problem but it still makes that noise, not all of the time but I would say about 70% of the time.
Any hints/tips/fix its would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes it could on the start up noise. Did you do the work yourself. If so, recheck the tension of the belts and you may need to tighten them slightly.

On the other issue, do you get the noise only on starting forward and is it always there on the starts. It is not a CV joint is it? Check the boots of the CV axles for cracking, leaking of grease and any rips of the rubber boots.

I get the noise when starting in first or reverse, and no it is not always there. But I definitely hear it a good part of the time and it seems to be worse when starting on a hill. I don't think it is a CV joint but I will check those fiew things thanks for the tips.
