Metallic squeek or rubber? The belt may be slipping if you got some dirty fingers on the ribbed side.

If it continues for a while, there is a spray you can put on the belts that may help clean and "condition" them.

Did you replace just the drive belts or the pulley's as well? If not, the noise may be the pulley's themselves.
