My car has a similar sound. I have a feeling it relates to humidity, which might explain the randomness. Mine sounds more like a tensioner bearing (god forbid not the timing tensioner) rather than a squeaking belt.

Theres the simple possibility of it being a dry belt. Go down to repco and buy a lube stick for 5 bucks start the car up and hold it on the ribbed side while the engine is running. Simple things first.
