Power Steering Noise

So now we know its the belt and not the gear or pump. Scratching my head here. I haven't been under the hood of later model aluminum water pump set up for a lot of years. My memory suggests the p/s belt was in the back, closest to block. Matched pair of belts in front. We certainly cannot trust my memory. Maybe the belt is too narrow and running in the bottom of the sheathe. Notched belt design is more flexible so they rarely need run in period and readjust like solid belt over small diameter sheathes would. They do forfeit some sheathe contact/traction.
