Default AC Belt Noise

Ok so I recently bought a new AC belt from auto zone for my gsr and put it on 8/31. Ever since then this thing has be making noise. The only time it doesn't make any noises is from a cold start or if i put some gas on the pedal. I have even tried putting wd40 on the belt and still doesnt work

So does anyone have any suggest of what problem i am facing and how can i fix it?

could it be because its new and needs time to break in

Check belt tension.

Is it a "squealing" noise? 94

Step 4 - You and your 2 year old son sweat to death in the Southern heat and humidity...

Just tighten the belt. There shold be a little play in it, but just a little. I think like 1/4" of movement? I usually just do mine by feel....

I have not heard of using WD-40, as a belt lube/dressing.
Is that as good as using Armour All?
