If this is serpentine belt, there is a tensioner. I can't tell from here if tensioner needs to be replaced? Another thought, maybe use a mechanics stethoscope, with engine idling, listen to each belt driven component housing, to see if you can pin-point where the sounds is coming from, incase component has a bad bearing or whatever? Just don't get anything hung-up in belts or pulleys. With belt off, engine off, you can work pulleys to make sure not trying seize and check for looseness.
