It goes around pretty much every single pully that's on the left side of your engine when you look at it standing in front of your car.
Look at the belt and check if it does need to be changed or not.
Check if it's cracked or about to snap or whatever
Your belt could still be good and it may just need an ajustement. It could currently be too tight, or too loose. Play with the alternator tensioner bolt to loosen, or tighten.

ok guys just found out what it was, i think is call the v belt, its the belt that goes around the alternator, have to replace it, i put some lubricant on it and it when away for a min
You know mine is doing that same exact thing, at first I thought it was coming from the alternator as I had the voltage checked and it was getting low voltage, so I changed out the alternator.. noise still there. Well my car battery is drained after sitting for about 4 hours, have had everything tested good battery etc... went far as swapping the battery in it for another as I have had bad batteries show good. Wonder if the belt could be affecting the charging of battery? Have/did you have any problems with your car not getting the juice it needs? Have you noticed anything else along with this?
