Things to try:

- Tighten belt
- Remove belt, check pulleys individually for squeaking or goose honking (lol)
- Hit the pulleys with a bit of lube to see if that stops any squeaking, replace pulleys or bearings on the bad ones
- Clean pulley surfaces & belt with soap and rinse clean
- Replace belt with GoodYear Gatorback
