Default starting problems and funny noises?

I noticed one time yesterday when I went to start my truck, it had a little problem. It started...but nearly stalled out. It idled really rough at around 400-500 rpm, before jumping up a ways to normal. Then while driving, I noticed a high pitch noise, sortof like a squeel, but not completly. Kindof like a buzz. It would change pitches with the engine speed, also when shifting too. Then, I had drove it a few times since I shut it off since the last time it did that. I had no problems with any of the other times. Then, today, I had the problem again, except it actually took a few tries to get it started. I had to give it a little gas to get it to keep running for a few seconds. The noise was back, but between the two different instances where it's done this, I've had no problems with any of this. Any ideas?
