Just keep an ear for the tensioner and guides making excess noise... Your question was too vague so I gave you 3 links to start

There is a serpentine belt tool you can rent from local auto parts stores. If the schematic for how your belt goes is missing ask for a printout on how to route your belt back on. There is a tensioner as well.

you said pulley, do you mean the cam cog belt wheel?
and how do you know that? a stethoscope at ears?
my guess????
(damage has no limits on machines)
1; it is loose....
2: the timing belt is loose, (never changed at 60k-90k per FSM)
if the belt slips, you can kiss off a good engine. bent valves
or far worse. (no limits)
3: the new belt drifts running and hits the cover.
ask how and why , i have a 6 point list for that. seen them all.

the honda engine is INTERFERENCE CLASS.
the piston chases the exhaust valve closed, (max power and efficiency , is why)
and if the belt slips. the piston can hit the valve and bend them all.
with possible wrecked pistons, or worse, bent rods. cracked valve guides (wrecked head) and pounded to death rod bearings.
ask any engine builder for photos , we have many,, ask.

As you can tell from the picture it isn't too easy to reach. So you'll want to go under the vehicle to get at it I think. Release tension on the belt by pulling on the tensioner pully, using the appropriate socket on the pullys' spindle bolt. Slip the belt off the tensioner and then remove the tensioner mounting bracket.

could be a timing belt tensioner as well so ask a local mechanic to have a look and a listen and then he will be able to point you in the right direction

it is quite tough job for beginner but if you properly marked the position of the top dead centre, position of the pulley etc, it should be ok. remember any slight movement of the pulley will cause the engine to run erractically or cannot start at all.

Yes it is recommended to change the water pump, pully etc. as you mentioned

hi from uk having lined ip timing marks on cogs? fit c/belt anticlockwise from crank pully cog then making sure that belt ist taut on none tensioner side ? slacken and re tighten tensioner bolt then turn crankshaft anti clockwise sixturns anticlockwise till c/shaft andcam marks re aligne ? now slacken tensioner bolt again and gently turn engine back/anti cockwise three teeth only!on the camshaft cog having done this tighten the tensioner bolt 44Nm final check !turn engine anti clockwisetill timing marks re aligne then if all ok ? re assemble engine hope this helps good luck !

You'll need a 1/2 inch socket wrench to fit on the inlet of the idler pulley. You'll also need an extension bar to lengthen the socket wrench because the wrench alone won't be long enough to reach. Apply pressure to the pulley to take the tension off the belt. Slide the belt off and then install the new one using the diagram under the hood as a guide. Check this thread for some photos:

sounds like your timing belt is a little to tight and the vibration from the belt is the humming you here
loosen the belt but you may want to call the dealer for the spics on tightness of the belt . thx
