Check for contaminants on the pulleys, misalignment, contamination on the belt or a wobbling/bent pulley.

Man those Gatorbacks are awesome. I ordered one from amazon for 20 bucks and it stopped making that god forsaken noise. But I guess you have to have money to spend it. belt conditioners never seemed to work for me.
