Based on the little info, I think Troy is on track. Look for a pulley that has a bearing going south.

A mechanic's stethoscope works well for finding noises like that (be real careful around heated, moving engine components).

Tensioner and idler pulleys (if applicable) are places I look first.

Good luck.
