Could be the wrong type belt installed, or if it is not a serpentine belt but a regular V-Belt it may be adjusted too tightly or too loosely. Can also be a defective idler assembly. Have this checked ASAP. Alternator bearing damage may occur if you continue to drive the car.

How often should your serpentine belt be changed?

The point at which you should have your serpentine belt changed depends on the vehicle. It is best to check the owner's manual. That said, under the best of conditions, the belt should last from 60,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on the vehicle. This doesn't mean the belt won't need to be adjusted at some point before it needs to be changed.
