does it do it on idle? if so pop the bonnet up and have a listen and locate where it is, if it was the timing belt itself it would be squeeking and you would notice bad idle / engine seizing ;-)

if its not a pulley it may be the alternator belt itself slipping
yea it does it on idle, sound like its coming from underneath the cambelt cover, its not a squeeking sound more like a whining
