how tight do you have it, if it's too tight it will make a noise.

 

what kind of noise is making? too loose or too tight will make noises.

 

how tight is too tight and how loose is too loose. is there a certain spec that it needs to be at? thanks

 

I've always went by if you can twist the belt half way...
