I had a similar problem it was the belts (located passenger side) one way to test is to have the engine running squirt the belts with wd40 and see if the noise goes? I released the top left nut then used the central top adjustment nut to tighten the belts. Not too much though or you may wear the alternator bearing. If it still contiunes and it is the belts have them replaced.
