Check all pulleys for forward/backwards motion, if they have play it needs to be replaced. Take a thin long pipe, when chirping is happening, place one end behind the pulleys, the sound will be amplified through the pipe. Makes it easy to find the culprit.

You need to locate and replace the faulty pulley.

Just an FYI when WD-40 get hot it gets sticky, clean it real good with some carb or brake cleaner and try some belt dressing or a new belt.
