Is it a hum or a whine? A whining t-belt indicates an over tightened t-belt (bad).

from my experience with new timing belts, they usually make a little bit of noise until it stretches a little bit after breaking in.

The T-belt is not the most common cause of the whine. Its the balancer shaft pulley that is often over tighten...
