Drive belt tensioner?

[Flagrum_3]

I recently started getting a odd noise (sounds like somebody sanding a piece of wood),only when I start the engine cold, once warmed up to temp its gone.It 'seems' to be coming directly from the Drive Belt Tensioner location.But I get no smell and no voltage warning light. I know theres a TSB on this but my vehicle dosen't fall into the serial number range.Just wondering because I haven't seen it mentioned here before... Has anyone had a problem with their's and what was the outcome?

Thanks,

I know that my belt whines when its cold, its kinda nerving. I took it to my dealer and they said nothings wrong, "it's just the belt" and sent me on my way.

Maybe there is a way to adjust the belt manually?
