It might be a pulley - there is an idler and tensioner that may make noise when they go bad. Try loosening the belt (requires a socket on the tensioner, google for specifics), then spinning each pulley by hand. Idler, tensioner, PS pump, alternator, and AC. If one feels rough then it likely has bad bearings.

Try starting it slowly. Turn key to auxiliary. Wait a couple seconds then turn it on. If no squeak it’s a computer issue. If it keeps squeaking look at tension on belt. Either too tight or too loose. The slow starting usually works. Yaris and Corolla are notorious for this.
