Could be the belt tensioner. These have a habit of dying of infant mortality. C5's are notorious for this.

Default belt

My '02 coupe did the same thing at 29000 miles. Purchased a new belt from dealer and I was shocked to see the condition of the stock belt when I removed it. New belt installed...no noise.
