If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

It will be the alternator belt, the high charge rate at startup makes it slip.
The belt is too loose, but could just be dry and slippery.
You can buy belt dressing, or just spray a bit of pledge on the ribbed side of the belt to quieten it down.
Most likely needs a new belt, the ones ECP sell are not the best.......

My last jimny did that all the time, despite several belt changes and adjustments. As facade says its the high charge rate after start up. In the end i just lived with it.
