This usually happens right after starting up and lasts about a minute, however sometimes it kicks in while driving at completely random times, like turning or downshifting. The belts were just recently replaced, could it be just that They're new or too tight or loose? Also, does running too high an obtane come into play? I use the middle grade, i think its 89. Any help appreciated, this is my pet peeve of car noises.

Did a lot of driving today and found out it happens only when i first start the car and when i slow down and start moving again after going fast, like highway speeds.
