Hi there. If this happened right after the belt was installed then it probably has something to do with that installation. However, there is the possibility of a simple coincidence; things can happen and parts do fail. I would have the noise investigated by a qualified technician to avoid replacing unnecessary parts. Your Mechanic has several available technicians that can assist you with an engine noise inspection.
