This is just the belt, right? I noticed this noise happening at idle after a 20 mile trip in 37 degrees F. The only non-stock part of the belt/pulley setup is the ATI superdamper. The belt probably has like 35K on it.

Thanks guys!

Sounds like the belt to me - to test I would put some water on the belt to see if it disappears.

I just replace the top idler pulley (the Main one showing in the Video). Made similar noise...
