Is the serpentine belt the right size? Is there anything dripping on the belt? Also do notice the noise when the a/c is on or off?

tensioner pulley itself? that went on me and made this horrid cat screaming in pain sound. it might spin ok, but check if there is any play/wobble.

How many miles is it? Apparently it could be idler,tensioner,a/c,ps,alternator or the fan making the noise. It could be the timing belt idler pulley or the water pump. I found this out in another thread so check it out.
