.... wait.... I just listened to the audio track... that's a different noise than what I was fixing at my place. Mine was more metallic scraping.. That's definitely just belt tension noise. It would have gone away with time as the belt stretched slightly, alleviating the tension.
Something the audio clip doesn't have on it is how it would hit a harmonic resonance at around 800rpm, so at idle it would be much more noticeable.

I did initially think the sound was a bit different, but then convinced myself it was my imagination. I guess they really were separate issues.
