If you had water on it or if it was too tight can cause a speak.
You probably don't have it tight enough, I take if you have a cup alternator setup? These have a belt tension of around 180nm iirc which is quite tight tbf.
its tensioned in the same way was a cup set up. perhaps ill just tighten is up some more!! 180nm sounds mental! thats double what a wheel nut should be!! how can the tensioning stud handle that?!
Mine was squeaking a couple of months ago. I thought one of the pulleys was on its way out. Turns out the belt had been rubbing against the tensioner and had worn through to the cable, carving a 2mm groove in the metal.
It's not 130 herts! I double checked it earlier for a 172 cup alternator set up it should be 183 herts give or take 9.
If you don't have a herts meter at your disposal then you could try tightened it abit more each time til it stops, it should only move a little bit up and down like silent scone said, about a coins worth.
