Have you checked the belt tension? Could be loose.

Tighten the belts. I had the same exact problem, it was the most annoying sound I could bear.

Pull on them, there should be very little slack on them. To tighten the belt, there is a bolt on top of the tensioner that you tighten with a regular wrench.
