It does it both times when parked n when driving, it just makes the noise n it feel like there's a lag between pushing the gas pedal n the SUV accelerating but that all there's no grinding, shaking or anything else just the winding up noise

That was my next step i was going to have you do.I would first spin the pulleys you can spin with the belt.Listen for abnormal noise etc.Then i would start it for few seconds without the belt to see if the noise is gone.That way you know its on the pulleys and not in the engine somewhere.
