    I could be that one of the new belts was installed tighter than old one causing a bearing noise from the accessory it is driving. Loosening the affected belt a bit may help, it could also mean the bearing is starting to fail. You may need to remove the belts one at a time to try and determine exactly what is causing the noise.
