depends on what the noise is. if it's a squeaky noise, try spraying water at the belt and see if it stops. If it does, then try a different make of belt.

If you do as Austin suggests and the noise stops, it might also mean the tensioner is mis-aligned. On a 300Tdi you can remedy this with a penny or washer behind it. Don't know about MPI engine, though.
