Hi Everyone!
I recently started to hear a squeaking noise coming from the engine bay after putting my car in a complete stop. The noise is not audible from a cold start and it starts to go away after letting the car idle for a few minutes. The squeaking always seems to start after driving around the city, going to work, and on my way back home. Since this is my first car and manual I've driven, I'm clueless as to what to look for to try to diagnose this issue.
Here goes a little more information.
I did recently learn how to launch about two weeks ago so I'm wondering if that made something go loose (I know it's not recommended to do this but I figured doing it about three times wouldn't hurt!). Feel free to ask my any questions and I'll do my best to answer them!
Thanks again for reading

Here goes a little more information.
- The car has 6,200 miles
- I babied the car for the first four months while I was getting to learn how to drive a manual transmission
- Turning the AC on/off seems to have no effect on the squeaking noises
- I drive pretty conservatively during my daily commute only shifting at around 3.5k rpm
- When I get the chance to drive it like crazy I shift at about 6k rpm
- Here goes a sound clip of the squeaking noises -
