    Sure it's the belt? Could be a pulley.

    most likely it's just a slipping belt. Replace it with a quality belt like a Goodyear Gatorback. If you need a temporary fix until you can get to it you can buy a can of belt dressing from your local auto part store.

    Or you could also find a candle or bar of soap and rub some on the belt to temporarily quiet it down. But the best way is to just replace it with a new good quality one. It's not that hard to do.
