I also had the water pump chirp and it did not sound at all like that. Hope they find a solution for you soon.

Can you take a short video and post it out here? I'd like to see and hear this and only have an iPhone to view it :(

I'm going to listen tomorrow morning when I start it and see if I hear anything BUT I get the garage tonight so it might not do it.

I had the water pump replaced at 7300 mi. Didn't sound anything like that.
The water pump is a continuous squeal no matter if it's hot or cold.
Hopefully they can get the whales out of your motor.

Dealer couldn't get it to do it today but they went ahead and ordered a pump. .. it's 3 days out so hopefully it fixes it.
