Squeaking/ticking sound?

This ticking/squeaking sound is coming out of my engine. I know my drive belt is bad and it needs replacing but that squeak goes away after car warms up. But when I've been driven my car for a while I start hearing this not loud but noticeable ticking coming from my engine. I tried making a video but you need to have good speakers to hesr the tick . Anybody knows what this might be? I'll post the video anyway. Thanks for any help. And for those jokers no the ticking is not a bomb:p

tensioner and belt are common to wear out. When you hear the noise look at the tensioner and see if you see it vibrating.

^What he said. I had my 105K service done the other day and this is one of the items they replaced. I had just noticed it was starting to squeak (briefly after a dead-cold start) a few days before the service. No noises now.
