my belt squelled for a while, couldnt track it down, changed my alt, tensioners and idler, a few days later the crank pulley sperated form the hub... that blew, but thats what i was hearing. however in ur case... this isnt the cause. i had an aftermarket one.

i'd suggest removing the belt, spinning each pulley by hand to see if you can hear it in any way. then if all else fails, id say start with replacing the tensioner. a belt makes noise when it slips for the most part. when theres extra load ie the power steering pump, a/c... it can slow the belt and allow it to slip if the tensioner isnt holding it tight enough.
