Assuming your serpentine belt is in good condition... the bearing of pulley could be making noise (or bearing could fail allowing you to jiggle pulley with your hand), and/or tensioner spring is worn out.

you should have a tensioner assembly you can loosen up to get the belt off easier, and to slip the new one on. there should also be a schematic on the frame of your truck right where you lift the hood from. this will tell you the proper route to take with your new belt ;)

You fail to list the make, model, year, and engine size of the vehicle you are asking about. Therefore I can only tell you to look at the belt. You will see one pulley that is not driving anything. That is the tensioner pulley.
Where is the tension bolt for the serpentine belt on a Chevy Malibu?
there is no tension bolt ! if the belt is loose it is either a stretched belt or the tensioner is bad. the only bolt on a tensioner is the bolt that goes through center of tensioner to hold it to the engine. no adjustment. good-day ! on the tensioner there are a few marks to tell you if it needs replaced, it should be on the center mark if all is ok. if its on any other mark. replace belt or tensioner if needed. the marks are on the front side of tensioner accross from the center bolt. alt, water pump, etc, are all stationary.
How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 1994 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 liter V8 with AC?
To replace the sepentine belt you have to first find the tensioner. You should have a diagram under the hood, on top of the radiator that can tell you which one is the tensioner and how the belt suppose to be hooked up to the different pulleys. When you find the tensioner, you have to use either a rachet or a wrench to release the tension to pry the belt out. You can also go to autozone.com and get more info about this.

How can you tell if your Toyota Tacoma 2003 needs a belt tensioner?
I assume you mean the tensioner for the timing belt. The drive belts for the power steering pump, alternator, and A/C compresser also have tensioners. My manuals and research for replacing the timing belt on a 2003 Toyota Tacoma with 3.4 V6 engine say to press the plunger of the hydraulic tensioner by hand hard against something immovable. If it moves, replace the tensioner. I conclude from this description that one should not be able to move the plunger by hand pressure. Compressing the plunger required considerable force in a large vise when I did my timing belt.
