see if your belt is cracked or glazed. If so, replace it. While it's off, check the tensioner pulley for play and noise and replace if necessary. If the noise only occurs with the control on defrost, then it's the clutch on you a/c pump which engages automatically when put on defrost

your ac compressor runs when defrost is on thus putting more stress on belt
