My bud had a problem like this, ended up replacing just about everything on the front of the engine with a bearing with no luck. Getting another belt solved the issue.
Try throwing the old belt back on and see if it still has issues.

Make sure the belt is on correctly, make sure it's tensioned correctly. Make sure someone didn't over tighten the belt and trash an accessory. Make sure all your accessories are free and spinning.
That just about hits it all.
