Hello. This noise can come from a few different things. You are right that most of the time it is caused by a failing or loose belt. If the belt is loose then it may be the tensioner that is failing. If the belt and tensioner are fine then the issue may be the alternator. It is common for a bearing in the alternator to fail and cause this.
