My 04 has a belt that sounds like crickets in the woods. I replaced the belts 2 years ago so I doubt their bad. Any thoughts what might cause this? I thought there might be a TSB on this but I can't find it.

What kind of belt did you replace it with? The reason I ask is because I had the same issue last year since I replaced the belt so after doing some research I ended up going with a Gatorback...The corvette's had the same issue and I can swear by it! It will be the only belt you should put on. It is made by good year. You should now test and find out which one is squealing by putting a little oil/water and if the noise goes away that's the one. DO NOT USE BELT DRESSING TRYING TO MASK THE PROBLEM! The reason it is sounding like that is because the belt needs to be changed.
Now if you do that little test like I told you on both belts and the noise is still there then it can be a pully causing the sound. Let me know if you got any additional questions!
Thanks Tonypro. You saved me a lot of money. I sprayed the belts and it quit. My mechanic said I needed belts, Idler, and tensioner. I ordered the gatorback belts. We'll see how that works. Thanks Again.Thanks. I'll try that.
