SOURCE: screech in engine. after serpentine belt stops

Check if screeching is related to engine vacuum.
Briefly remove (or loosen off) the oil filler cap - if noise immediately stops high crankcase vacuum is the cause. Check / replace PCV valve to fix.
If above is not the cause, listen with a short length of hosepipe to try and narrow down noise source.
Silicon lube spray or pencil lead graphite on a selected belt should cause sound change if it's caused by that belt.

If the belt is not tense enough it will squeal, so make sure it's tight enough. Otherwise you can use a stethoscope or long screwdriver up to your ear to isolate the source of the noise.

SOURCE: noisey drive belt, possibly alternator, belt

sounds like idler bearings but you have to release the tension to check,Also you can check the rest of the pulleys also at this time. I dont think you have to drop the engine.

SOURCE: On a 2002 Grand Prix, have a serpentine belt and

serpentione belt sounds as if it is stretched. first try to reseat serpentine belt. if still a problem then go buy new belt at autozone. also buy some belt dressing. this should fix the problem. if this doesnt solve then you need to buy a new idler arm. relatively easy fix.

SOURCE: High pitched howling and screeching (yes two

When the AC compressor kicks on, an electrical load is placed on the alternator and the drive belt that turns the alternator pulley, if not tight enough, can cause the belt to squeal. Replacing the belt should help with that noise if the belt is stretched from wear. The screeching noise can be from a bad idler pulley, a bad belt tensioner pulley or a bad alternator pulley or a failing clutch on a very old ac compressor and rarely a water pump pulley. To check pulleys remove the drive belt and turn them individually to see if they can be tilted up down or sideways with play in the "bearing" of the pulley. Also, you may wish to visually inspect the clutch on the ac and look for melted black rubber around the bolts that secure the clutch to the compressor (stinks,smokes and melts these rubber areas if ac compressor clutch fails).

Belt noise when i start the car and it is cold. Last for about 15 secs. It has a new timing belt.

no engine stated, and this varies by ,, engine.

the belts , if new , screech for only 2 reasons
1: loose (or oil soaked, watch a guy last weak oil it to stop this)sad.
2: or the accessory its driving is seized.

id bet the cogged, timing belt will never screech, its idler might.
did you inspect all parts as you asssembled the engine.
no engine stated, so be hard for the blind to answer with savvy,
accurate answers, no?

ACCESSORY belts are tension'ed, 3 ways. (3 classes of systems)
1; manual tension. means you sit it to spec.
2: auto tension'ers
3: some look like auto type and are not.... the book for your engine tells all this.

the cam belt as special tension'g steps, did you follow those.
we cant guess what you did wrong.
nor if you even followed all steps.
below is technician loosing the auto tensioner
if the tensioner feels weak or bad, it is.
my guess, (useless) is that the cam belt is ok
but you skipped the accessory belts tension steps.
if it didnt screech before.451adf4b-5c25-45c0-9005-5e285b255e75.jpg

What is the growling noise coming from my 94 civic motor

Water pump or pulley most likely.

Always replace water pump and pulleys when you do the timing belt.

Also you may have overtightened the belt.

NOTE, Kevlar belts will make a "whirring" noise for a few thousand miles after replacement, but not a growling.

I have a 95 Buick Regal.It makes a noise when running ,but if take the belt off it stops.

it depends what kind of noise, if its a licking noise the pulleys that the belt is being turned by could be bad (belt tensioner pulley ,Idler pulley etc.) if its a squealing sound like a high pitched whistle or like a rubber heal screeching on a tile floor constantly the belt is no good there is fabric on the inside of the belt and when it wears away you will get the chirp or squealing /screeching sound from this. inspection of that belt will tell you look at the grooves if looks like shiny rubber you found it if it doesn't and the fabric is there then a pulley is the problem bad bearing can make the belt slip resulting in the squealing good luck LATER MAN!

There are 3 belts on the truck (1994 V6, 4wd). The belt that goes around the alternator was not spinning and there was a loud screeching noise. I cut the alternator belt to see what the truck would do with...

The pulleys may be out of alignment due to a bent or misinstalled alternator bracket. the alternator itself may be pulling so much current that the belt is slipping on its pulley. (might be why the other alternator failed. Check the battery voltage with everything turned off and see if you have a parasitic battery drain.) The bearing for the idler pulley (if equipped) could be failing.

The belts continue to make a loud screeching noises when i drive over 55. Sometimes when the car is idling the belts make noise. Could it be the tension pulley.

it could be the tensioner, water pump, alternator, A/C compressor, power steering, or even a really bad serpentine belt. The only way to be sure is to remove the s-belt and spin-check the pulleys and listen for squeaks or grinding bearings.

the screeching noise could be rubber deposits on the belt pulley or pulley bearings for the power steering pump BUT its also a big clue that the timing belt tensioner is about to give up...CHECK BOTH please.....

My serpintine belt started making a loud screeching noise, and eventually slipped off. I got it put back on but its still making a screeching noise. All of this started after i got the AC compressor fixed....

One of the belt pulleys likely has a bad bearing. watch the pulleys for binding while it's running or remove the belt and check each pulley by hand. AC puts more strain on the belt...if the belt is not new and pulleys check out, (and tensioner is working properly) change the belt.

Replace front drive belts. There comes a time when they get so worn and polished that they just don't grip anymore.
