its not your timing belt or you would have serious problems, its most likeley a serpentine belt is it squeeling when you rev or pull away?, if it is first check the condition of the belt if it looks alright it most likley just wants tightening. but i carnt remember of the top of my head if there is an adjuster pully wheel or the adjustment is on the alternator. if the noise is a constant rumbling it could be alternator bearings or the water pump bearings.
