Could be the idler pulley but most probABLY a belt. Either get some CRC Belt Dressing and spray the crap out of it or get a new belt. New belt would probably be best.
Try pouring some water on it to see if it temporarily goes away.

This is the last thing you want to do. That spray garbage in not made for serpentine belt. If you do use it you will be having to change out your belt.

Idler pulley usually makes a loud chirp. I think it could be the belt. How old is the belt? Try tightening or loosening the belt first.
