try pushing on the tensioner with it on ifi you can safely do so without hitting the belt. does noise go away?

(I"m assuming this is with a new belt)
Sounds like the belt tensioner spring is weak and needs to be replaced. Either that, or the belt is not routed correctly -- double-check the map in the engine compartment.
