I'd check the idler pully as well (probably first as it is easier to get to), just grab it with your hand (engine off of course) and try and wiggle it, it shouldn't wiggle much if at all.

I hope you fine loose bolts or a crack flex plate or your air compressor noisy - if not with the brake on and belt off - have some listen for engine knock - try a heaver engine oil might help for a wile. Have had air conditioner compressor knock when they are going bad.
