How long has the belt been making this noise? And is this because you recently changed the belt, or messed with the tension or mounting bolts?

The belt is probably just loose. And if it's been this way for awhile, you may need a new belt. Read a manual and learn how to adjust the tension.

is that one side of the belt supposed to be flat? i thought the whole thing was ribbed?

hehehe....yep, I see that all the time. When the timing belt gets replaced alot of people (especially aftermarket shops) forget to reinstall the tensioner bolt gromet. There is a rubber gromet o-ring that slips over the tensioner bolt and this is what holds the center part of the lower cover in place. If it is not reinstalled, the cover sticks out and can start to contact the A/C belt. Whats worse is when the cam seal starts leaking the oil seams to distort the lower cover even more....to the point where the A/C belt starts digging into the cover and eventually shreds the A/C belt. The only way to fix this is to replace the lower timing cover and install that o-ring. Since this is alot of work, I would just hold off until the next time you get the t-belt replaced.

橡膠墊片要套在外面,皮帶就不會磨到正時皮帶外殼

rub to 正時 the leather belt outer covering

i havent gotten the timing belt done though.. so..

it could be that your crankshaft pulley has separated and has pulled the belt towards the timing belt cover. same thing happened to me but the belt went away from the cover and started to rub against the power steering belt.

if this is the case, replace the crankshaft pulley! good luck.

Well then, I would say that just a shredded A/C belt and a little noise really isn't your top priority right now.
