What could cause a loud belt whine when starting the engine of a Lexus RX 300?

[Edit]

Answer

Sounds like the belt is loose. Another possibility is that your water pump is going bad. Sometimes when they set ovrnght for instance it will start to "freez" up a little due to the bearings inside going bad. Hope this helps. It is just impossible to say w/o personally seeing it.
