I'm NOT a mechanic so please bear with me in describing the thing

I had all tires replaced recently and had a mechanic do the wheel
alignment job after that. No complaints about the alignment itself but...
After one or two days I've noticed that everytime I'm starting up the
car, once it gets moving forward I hear a squeaky vibration like chirp
from the right front wheel.
It happens only after a start and after the car has moved forward 10-15
feet, and sounds like a relay metal plate vibrating when closing a
contact and hiting something in between.
The sounds lasts about half of a second and never repeats itself til the
next start.It does it after every start but only when moving forward.
Other than that the car drives very smooth, great I would say, the noise
doesn't happen in any other circumstances - not when starting the car
and moving immediately backwards for example, or at various speeds. It
didn't do it prior to having the alignment job done. Of course they say
it has nothing to do with their alignment work.

What could it possibly be?. Any hints?...please help...I've had other
mechanic lookin into it and he wasn't able to figure it out.
It has been a while now since its doing that and I don't know if it's a
funny and not concerning noise or I should look more closely into it.

Thanks...
Kind regards,
Alex.
