The belt may be glazed and needing replacement. Perhaps better to change it and not risk it breaking at a bad time. (when is a "good" time for a belt to break??? ) ;-)
loose/worn belt. replace.

As I turn into my driveway on a warm spring day when the wife's car is there so I can drive to the dealer for a replacement and the dealer is open and has the correct part in stock and I have the right tools and a good picture in the instruction manual and I'm not hung over from the night before. Ahh! Those were good times! bob
Accessory drive belt would be my first guess.
